They're not rich by any means. The cost of living where they live is quite low, which allows them to afford a lot of stuff they like. The lower taxes in the US helps with this as well, plus they are able to write off the interest on their mortgage which helps them even more. A lot of people where I live have cottages. Rollo claims to have a "shack" for a cottage. It doesn't sound extravagant to me. It just sounds to me as though he has been reasonably successful in his life and he's enjoying the rewards of that. Now, I will say he does like to brag about all the stuff he has and how much he makes. That doesn't make him greedy though. It makes him vain and maybe somewhat condescending. He is concerned with his status. I find it annoying as well.
That would be an understatement. The cabin isn't habitable, we bought the place more for the backwoods lake lot.
I would have spent my life trying to get ahead if I was concerned with status. I spend my life parenting, fishing, and hunting.
