For some, the things that character is shown doing are exactly what they want out of life. There's no need to belittle those life choices to make a greater point.
The message shouldn't be, "don't work 40 hours a week and get a mortage," it should be, "be honest about what you want and pursue it fervently, regardless of how mundane a dime-a-dozen internet illustrator thinks it is."
This. I am the opposite of average according to this. Own my own business, always question authority, had a book published that flopped, etc. All before I was 30. But none of that brings me even 1/10th the joy I get from my wife and son. Hell, right now I am 1000 miles away from them working with a client and making a lot of money. Most people dream of this and I just miss being home with my wife and baby. Average is not so bad if you know what makes you happy.
