How am I trying to show off?
My point is that although your friend is making a very nice income, he is still working his a$$ off (your words), whereas you said you would work less than 6 hours a day and travel.
Your attitude is entirely different to his and one of you earns much more than the other.
The difference is down to the work rate - that was my point.
That may be meaningless to you, but it is not meaningless to your friend who makes $100K per month
