That look of horror on Elly's face is entirely justified if Elly thinks for one second that "I don't like my job" will quickly translate to "I am going to quit and have faith that fate will provide." I mean, that's what she would do, and it's what pretty much everyone she's related to will do - "I'm not happy, so I'm walking away, everything will work out." Whatever else we may say about John, he took his financial responsibilities seriously (and treated himself to a sportscar despite a carping wife who disapproved) and didn't decide "you know what? I'm not being given a daily ticket tape parade at my job, and I'm asked to do things I don't want to do. I'm quitting."
And because he never did that, everyone else he knows could, and did.
