There is a real confusion now a days that everything should be value in terms of money and whether you should really try to get it first instead of doing what you care the most and that it's how values and what people value had changed over time.
It just doesn't mean that you could earn money to live a normal life according to what normal is defined within your society. Many are not capable of earning enough money to sustain what most will consider a normal life but they really outperform living a meaningful life and do things that they care the most and to really fulfill others needs or pursue common dreams.
