Again, it depends on your priorities: 1. security, 2. comfort, 3. getting rich
or 1. getting rich, 2. comfort, 3. security.
For me, I want to get rich because I want to have higher level problems than I have now, to be able to contribute more to the society. I don't care about surviving more easily.
The difference is that "surviving more easily" is based on fear while "contributing more to the society" is based on love. I don't want to live in fear all my life.
Again, here's my favourite quote from Steve:
"Life really began flowing for me when I finally let go of that ego junk, pride, and feelings of doubt and said to myself, "I'm just going to focus on making the best contribution I can. If I go broke doing that, I go broke. My fears and worries are just not that important compared to the difference I could make if I really gave this life my very best. If I'm here to make a contribution, then the universe had better back me up."
