I asked him how the hell he could pay for himself, his wife and two kids on $11 per hour and he told me that many of their bills are paid for by the church they go to and in exchange they do a lot of volunteer work for the church. So he is resigned to a life of barely getting by and puts up the front that he is happy with it, but when you get him alone all he talks about is wanting this thing and wanting to go to this place. All things he can't do because he can't afford it.

My view of people and their actions can be summed up like this:
"people do what they are motivated to do".
I really try not to look beyond that that statement when looking at behaviors. Likely because he has someone helping him pay bills and he has that insurance in case his life goes wrong, he's not motivated to earn more.
