Changing one's lifestyle is often quite difficult if not impossible given certain circumstances like family, children, etc.

Seriously, why even ask these mundane questions?
My take on his question boils down to "If you don't like your circumstances, then change them!"

It's a good point, good advice, and I didn't take it as political or socialist. Yes it can be extremely hard, but often it's not nearly as difficult as we may anticipate. Maybe not as extreme change as he suggests is warranted, but there is usually some way out if we have the determination and imagination and there's no harm in giving a close look at it. In my opinion.
