. I suspect that is the situation "Greg" is in. It is why he is obsessed with money and has to make at least 10,000 a month. He has the gall to denigrate a teacher like myself who earns way less than that, and uses a foreign bank account also.

Indeed, a lot of foreign teachers worked bloody hard in other countries, and their homelands before coming to China, but greg won't accept that.

Personally, I accept your pov, he has a chinese wife dependent on him, and so needs to earn more to support her, but really he feels bitter that he has to work so hard for it.
