Randomex – The quote doesn’t discuss financials. It does discuss (Pashtus) that not everyone should be Osek if they “can’t” (and yes, “can’t” is undefined by both the Gemorah and myself). It does prove that the current Derech that everyone should be pushed into full time learning (or marrying a full time learner) is flat-out wrong.
(and IMHO (and others) is causing many of the “crises” that everyone shrais about).
This was the point of the whole drei, as it then follows why there is (unfortunately) resentment towards the Kollel system as it exists today.
That being said, I’m glad you now understand that was not my point.
