MC is a normal isekai protagonist suffering from daydream syndrome.
The fact he is truly living in a world based ona game he played still didn't click fully in his mind, the fact he only have one life and there are no respawns, the weight of the people around him, he is still going with the flow that is not his reality.
His common sense being twisted on the money is tourist syndrome, he is used to the yen so having a ton of money in a foreing country doesn't click right, he is thinking of himself as tourist.

That's a common space mercenary problem, it seems. They all make mad bank, and it messes with their heads a little. Even poor Mimi's starting to get used to it. There's a few points in the books where she gets worried that throwing around this much cash feels natural.

He's just never lived the normal life, so he's got no frame of reference. On the upside, he blows it all on ships and amenities instead of liqour and women... but then, he has enough women already(and he's not done yet!).

Like a nouveau rich not thinking about keeping money for the future in a way, even if MC does say at the start he wants to have 1 mil in the bank at all times for insurance.
Other mercs don't make that much money because they have the right mindset of only 1 life, normal ships and the experience by living like that, even the elf recognizes MC luxury lifestyle when she joined.
MC makes a ton of money not only for his ship but because he continues to fight like if is a game.

Hiro just got the experience of several life or death situations from when it was a game (aside of his power to slow down time) combined with a ship the size smaller than a corvette but nearly as strong as a cruiser that is cheap to maintain (low ammo costs) and hard to be scratched (strong shields), which lets him earn a lot at extremely low costs; while at the same time he's also enjoying the job he's doing basically non-stop and ends in ridiculous situations that don't even let him even take a vacations.

He knows when he's dead it's over and doesn't treat it as a game, but the fight with crystal life forms is just muscle memory for him since they're simple minded creatures that he knows all too well (See Beleberum Federation fight).
And the 1 Mil was just at the beginning before he was about to move to other colony, but while buying the ship he had 32 million but was willing to spend only 25 million (he spent about 20 million in the end, all discounts included).
