What you're asking is akin to opening up an advanced yoga class to people who've never done yoga before. That is not a good fit and is only going to frustrate people.

If the price is an obstacle, that's simply because it's supposed to be an obstacle.
This is definitely leaning towards a class based system--the belief system that what we get in life is *solely* based on our "intentions". How about if someone is born with a genetic defect or even suffers from some chemical imbalance in her/body. As in your aticle about "a fixed income is a sucker bet", you are making the impicit argument that some "weaker" people in society will remain so because of their "mindset" and "intentions".
