part of it is loser propaganda, and the other has to do with the fact that people spend money on things they want. or need. or love. either way, it has value for them. and in a lot of fields for you to generate the most value for others you need to love the thing yourself.
you're just more likely to create something great if you're really into it - because you're working on the great thingy and not the money. the money just comes with being great.
I hope this makes sense.

Because the kind of people who want money to buy trinkets and cars and houses are the kind of idiots who spend it all before they can amass any real capital.

Most extremely rich people are not the sort of people who would put a pic of a supercar as their avatar.

it's a load of shit perpetuated by generations of people who refuse to put things in perspective to how life was not even half a century ago
don't pay attention
climb that class structure

dunno, i have zero business sense but i do want more money. for me money is a way out of the treadmill. it's also a safety net. i don't want to spend it i don't want it for the things it can buy to me. i just want it for the passive income it can generate which i need to consume to live that simple.

Yeah but it's easier to earn money by making a business that solves a problem, provides value or helps in some way. It gives you a direction, you don't just get up one day, decide to start a random business to make money. You can do that, sure, but seriously, if your central goal is to make money, it fucks you over in the long run because the goal of making a quality product of service isn't perfectly aligned with the goal of making money. Take for example a coffee shop business, if your sole goal is to earn money instead of providing good coffee and good service, you'll cut costs more than you should which hurts you in the long run. Sure, you can save money by not decorating it well, overworking and paying your workers shit wage, but the downsides of looking half assed and having crap staff which don't have time to clean stuff fuck you over long term. To be clear, making money is a goal of every business, that's a given, but the reason everybody talks about this mission and vision memery is to stop people from making the common mistake of prioritizing money at the expense of the business itself.

the problem i see if your vision does not align with peoples expectations it's going to be a shit business. if you focus on the business being a good business ie making money then you must find what value your target audience craves.

Money is a byproduct of a good business. A good business is much more than being profitable; to be profitable you have to have all this other stuff. Again, this is why you have so much stress on making a good business, paradoxically if you only focus on making money it's harder to make money.
