I agree - it was the wrong word. One can be successful and never be rich, however, wealth is a property of success, albeit a non-essential one.

That said, I still think most people want money and will take the easiest path to money - if small ideas can get them there then they will gravitate towards implementing those ideas.

Success - achievement of an objective (goal)

Wealth has absolutely no relation to success unless you define being wealthy as your goal. It's not even a consequence of being successful on whatever you set your life goals to.

Most people, and especially on HN, accept the cultural defaults of success.

This is not always wise.
