Have to disagree with you a little here. It's not how much money you make or how big your house or what kind of car you drive. What matters is on the inside of a person.

Congrats you are "nice" you listen, you never forget a birthday, but you cant provide shit, society is full of people
who need things. They need houses built, they need food to eat, they need entertainment, they need fulfilling sexual relationships. You arrived at the scene of that emergency, holding your pocket knife, by virtue of your birth -- the moment you came into the world, you became part of a system designed purely to see to people's needs.
Either you will go about the task of seeing to those needs by learning a unique set of skills,
or the world will reject you, no matter how kind, giving, and polite you are.
You will be poor, you will be alone, you will be left out in the cold.
Does that seem mean, or crass, or materialistic? What about love and kindness -- don't those things matter? Of course. As long as they result in you doing things for people that they can't get elsewhere.
I have met some really rich people who were the biggest douche bags you could have ever met. I have met people who are below the poverty line and these people would give the food of their table and the clothes off their back to help a total stranger.
Which is more harmful and small time drug dealer who is trying to pay their rent and bills or a ceo of a company who steal money from his company and thousands of people loose their job? A provider from here trying to earn a living to support their child and be a good mom or a politician lining their pockets from tax payers?
