I take umbrage at your remarks...
First of all, I'm an artist so I think outside the box.
Secondly, I'll bet I work many times harder than you do, and because I have alternate ideas on materiality than you do, makes me no less of a hard-working materialistic person than you are.
As a matter of fact, I am getting ready to reward myself of YEARS of hard labor as a single mom by building my dream home at the top of a mountain. Now you can call my ideas flaky, but I am not a loser at life.
Determined, passive and agressive, balanced, generous and kind; I take what life throws at me and make sandwiches out of it time and time again.
