(1) You don't need a family (why does no-one factor this in as a moral decision in terms of how this will impact their behaviour to make moral decisions in the future?), nor in the West will your family starve if you don't have a job;

(2) You don't need to pay the mortgage.

Try carefully to read the context: you don't need that job to survive.

It's much tougher to have the courage of your convictions but simply being temporarily poor will not kill you in most of the Western world.

There are exceptions: those physically and mentally unhealthy or at the lower end of intelligence may not be able to cope with the difficulties of being poor.
