A 400,000 dollar household that has to scrimp?  That's spit your drink out absurd.  We lived on one average income for years while spouse stayed home with the kids.  That's scrimping.  When she started working again and our income doubled, it was like winning the lottery.  Except we didn't change the way we lived, we just starting saving and paying down the mortgage.  Four of us live at home and our four cars have a total of 810,000 miles on them.  That's frugality.  Viva Toyota.And Henry Ford said it best - Money (power) doesn't change you, it just shows who you really are.
