R is obviously trolling, he can't be like this in real life. Obviously 50 k is a shit wage to retire on, but you have to be a right square to aspire to earn more money to put your kids in private school, support a wife, and not have to use public transport in London. Those things are not aspirations, just part of your own private strange bubble.
50k isn't a great wage to pay rent out of and save for a mortgage but is manageable unless your a weirdo who is afraid of public transport.

How much does a pint of milk cost, R?

Mindset of working just for £ and constantly wanting more (that R seemingly has) will mean you are never satisfied, there is always another thing to buy/pay for. Especially when competing with crass friends about earning/spending.
When your 45 and MTG'd through the roof and have some sort of hicup and your wife leavs you (cos she will be a similar cunt except without actually working) you might feel a smidgen of remorse…
We all buy into the illusion that money = happiness (e.g. buying expensive clothes etc) but just some far more than others.

Rs been brainwashed (among many other of his peers) to think like this from an early age, no point trying to argue or offer an alternative.

your aspirations come from your own bubble life, everyones do. Each to their own.
everyone has a bubble life to some extent. mostly around relatively similar people.

not sure my aspirations are particularly unusual. all pretty standard stuff.
