Similar views have been shared before on this thread. Insist on your own beliefs if you will.
There is some truth in the points you raise regarding lifestyle creep and golden handcuffs as a result of high salaries (relative to the median wages in Singapore) and high expectations.

But the angle you're approach it from, is frankly speaking, imbecilic.

A non-mentally challenged person would simply advise people to live a more abstemious and financially prudent lifestyle, and live within modest means with forward financial planning. As opposed to trying to rationalize the value of earning less.
