If he has a wife and dependent children, he probably cares more about always being able to provide for them than about how appealing or satisfying his work is -- regardless of the cost of living in Phoenix.

Can you not survive (and even live a pretty above average/good life) with a family on $11,250/month?

Yes, one can, but--

You don't have children, do you?

I don't, but I have friends with families that survive on way less than half of that.

You're never experienced life within working/middle class, have you?

Maybe, just maybe, we live in different parts of the world with very different levels of salary and/or cost of living.
