Yeah, but then the fisherman became ill and he couldn't afford treatment and lost everything. But the retired banker could fly anywhere and get the best treatment in the world then come back.

It's perhaps a contrived and bad example, but it does show the story glosses over quite a big difference in situation between someone who can choose exactly how they live, vs someone who can just choose a few things about how they live.
