Your salary tells your boss how much he pays you but your lifestyle tells him what you can afford without him. That's why two people earning the same amount can be treated differently.
One looks like he needs a job, the other looks like he has options and bosses don't always
react to it. When they realise you have options they can't control you.
This is a disadvantage to them and they cannot control you so they try all their best to humble you at the very. So even if you are living a lifestyle outside of your work, you should know how to manage it so that it doesn't cause a negative response in your workplace and your employer decides to make things go the wrong way for you.
