Wholely agree. I live in the most expensive region in the US on $160k base salary. My total annual expenses (including vacations, wants, gifts) don’t exceed $50k, and of that $20k is rent.

Well yeah, but you probably make good choices which is arguably cheating.

I don’t think that would be a winnable argument.
