Not so great argument I guess. Someone is making 50-100K/month because he managed well his personal finances and saved money to invest to his next venture.

Nobody is making 100k a month by managing their personal finances. (Anybody who does make 100k a month on investments employs professionals to manage their money.)

And if they make 100k a month by "saving up for their venture", their time would be vastly better spent actually executing on that venture rather than doing fastidious accounting on pennies at home.
