1. Status is relative, making $70k in rural Idaho enables a happier life than making $90k in San Jose.
2. In the post-apocalyptic world, many preppers will be relatively better off, having lots of practical skills like farming, mechanical know-how, survival skills, etc, vs professionals who thrive in a stable city but wouldn't last a month in the wilderness, can't hunt for food, start a fire, etc.
Therefore, the post-apocalyptic world becomes some sort of fantasy, where finally your skills are valued, and Joseph the lawyer will be begging you for help.
