I will agree that money is important to do things in society. I still maintain that it is an illusion. Your principles compassion and value to society are all far more important. As for being, rich, I think people should go for it. Become as weathy as you can... but not so you can prove your not a loser. If your doing it for that reason I think it will just hurt you. I strongly feel that you are coming from a place of ego here.
Your right that joe vitale got him out of his place by takin action and having a vision. You shouldn't write off people who don't take action and seem to have no vision as being useless though. A lot of these types of people just do not believe in themselves. The last thing they need is to be looked down on as "losers". I'm not saying you should associate with them either.
I just really think you go to far with saying "dont hang out with people who don't have a job".
