I mean no offense, but I think you're actually just confusing yourself... He basically said he has plenty of money right off the bat. Deductive thinking, from him stating proudly that he makes $21/hour-- 1) That's a lot of money to him, and--2) his bills/overhead are obviously low enough to be able to say he's very comfortable financially... Why would it bother you that he put a number down? This was a thread about money and how you spend your money, somewhat; I don't see the issue, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
