For 3/4 of the worlds population just a want little rat meat and rice to eat and they have a large net worth.
Self worth just means they are still alive.

I would rather have both a large net worth and self worth. Why settle for one over the other?

You stated an opinion...no evidence, facts, or anything else material. Just like a doctors opinion is judged on their experience a disease/procedure, or a gardeners opinion is based on their ability to grow things, I am judging your opinion on business and economics by how well you used it in your life.
As you should but get this. He owns his own home. And doing this on a minimum wage job doing manual labor. Nice trick. Good at business if you ask me.

Valuing money isn't everything. If you do something that gets you more units of exchange than when you started with you can do a lot of it. But it is a lousy test for what is good or bad to do.

So I guess the business/economics experience comes from bovine university with Ralph Wiggum?
Was the OP giving "net worth lesson?"

I would take lessons/advice form a billionaire to the homeless guy on the corner. I could learn what to do and what not to do in life.
