Your lifestyle is a culmination of how comfortably you can live on your income. If you're making 30k a year, you're not living in a big house and driving fancy cars.

if i choose to be a vegetarian, that is a lifestyle choice. if i choose to sit on rugs and meditate, eliminating the need for furniture, that's a lifestyle choice.
