"But making money is one of the most fun and meaningful games out there. You can make many people happy with the money you have, you can make your life better, you can travel to new places."
In this case, I'd say that making people happy and travel are the fun and meaningful games. Money helps enable them, sure, but there are plenty of ways to make people happy and travel without much money too, so if these are the things that make you feel good, why not focus on doing them as much as possible instead?
"If you win at the entrepreneurship game 20 times, your life becomes a whole lot better."
Not necessarily. I guess this is the root of the whole discussion. It depends how you measure.
