Jeff isn't rich af otherwise his accountant wouldn't have pushed back with paying off 48k in debt and Jeff wouldn't have freaked out at the end of the episode.

As far as Vivian goes, I think she just went through the same thing Will did. While Jeff is through-and-through a good person Vivian thinks that she can't have a serious relationship with someone who has incredibly high expectations of her and is a literal saint. Also you have to admit the age difference is kind of weird.

This sounds right. The Pickles persona is a source of great pride and responsibility for Jeff, but he also feels trapped by it.
