I side with self-actualization, pride in my work and in the knowledge I am good at what I do and that it is useful to others and rewarding for me. Having fun at work is also very important. But I don't have to prove anything to anybody.
I've got no problem with someone wanting to create or expand one's business. It's the idea that you are some kind of goof-off if you don't that I find astonishing and incomprehensible. I like disposable income as much as the next guy, but if I was that obsessed with financial success, I would have been a lawyer.
I had a feeling this thread was going to strike a raw nerve ending, we're not talking economic or political theory here, this is an emotional topic, and it does carry cultural and psychological baggage.
