I would submit that Bob and Linda are in the top tier of professional expeditors and if they are happy with their life and their bank account then you are just jealous or don't understand.

This quote comes to mind: "You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time."
