While I don't disagree with the general point, those specific examples sound more like Wealth + Debt, or a cost-of-living increase from disadvantages that requires him to live at a lower status to account for those expenses.
Then again, I can understand saying "too much book-keeping for me, a reduced effective-Wealth is easier."
