How would the robbers know he lives below his means? All they see is that he's making 2x his neighbors.



And that money could be going to an ex-spouse, paying down debt, etc. It's not like we're making the contents of OPs bank account public.


Do you think would-be robbers will give me the benefit of the doubt? I'd prefer to not trust them.


I have no idea the mindset of these robbers who seem to be after your paycheck, but I do know that Norway has made salary information public [0], and they have a very low crime rate [1], in fact it's far lower than the U.S. crime rate.
