It's his money and making money is not immoral if obtained honestly. He would have been better served to have stuck to that principle instead of being distressed on having to rough it on $200K.
Agreed. Pointing out that less than 10% of that $6.3 mil was actually left over after meeting the minimum demands of the business would have laid the foundation for a powerful argument.
He put his foot in it by “poor-mouthing” as we say back home. Now his remarks will be twisted to imply that he spends $16k a month on food* and is whining about it.
*Though he specified “food”, saying that he would only have $400k left to invest back in the business would actually imply that all of his family expenses - mortgage, utilities, savings, etc. - would total $200k.
My point exactly!
