Not neccesarily. Only if you're the sort of person who values money and chooses to asscoiate with people based on how much money they have. Of course people with lots of money do tend to be people who value having lots of money. But not always.

That's sort of the point of it though, right?

If you equate your income with your self-worth, then you'll never feel that you have enough.

If you can step outside that framework, you'll find that you may still make significant money, but it doesn't really matter so much.
