The sentence you chose to comment on was a bit of sarcasm, however your story also has a little tongue and cheek message in it.
Respectfully,

Hi Thomas,
The sentence below reminded me of a classic science-fiction story written in the late 40's or early 50's. I can't recall the title or the author (Frederik Pohl???).
The conflict arises when a young couple from very different socio-economic backgrounds get married. The young woman had lived with her father and mother in a small cottage, a fairly spartan existence with the father going off to work five days a week and the mother doing the housework--this was the 50's. The bridegroom lives in much more luxurious quarters, works only a few hours a week, and seems to spend most of his time purchasing things and deciding what to purchase. By the end of the story the young bride is totally stressed out and in grave doubt whether she can adapt to a lower-class lifestyle with the man she loves. He is required by the state to buy all these things and has to earn the right to work more and purchase less.
Victor

Perhaps we need a professional class of consumers to create a demand for all those who still find value in work.
