In the financial industry, we refer to people who sell horrible high commission and high fee products to clients as being chained to their desk by the "golden handcuffs." I think one reason some of the really aggressive brokerage firms encourage their employees to spend a lot of money maintaining a lifestyle is because they know that once they get their people used to leasing mercedes and living in a 4000 square foot house that they aren't going to want to change. Once they got you this way, they can get you to do anything they want bc if you don't it means you could lose your lifestyle.
I wonder what the equivalent is in dentistry? The golden dentures? I bet you'll see a lot of folks over the coming 10 years get in big trouble for acting unethically as financial strain pushes anyone to do something they wouldn't normally do. Of course some folks are greedy, but usually its fueled by a need to 'pay the mortgage' that rationalizes the behavior.
