This article probably applies to a group of people. It certainly does not apply to me. For me to be happy, I need to eventually detach from society as people in the tech industry know it, start my own greenhouse (thinking of toying with geothermal), raise my own chickens, produce my own electricity. I am tired of working for others. I am tired of the big burn rate and dependency on others. I have no misconception about money, I will always have to spend some, but happiness for me is just getting away from all the BS that society has created. Don't confuse this with becoming a recluse. I will have like minded friends and socialize with people like me. I've already met a few that share my preferences to detach from the rut.
This seems semi out-of-touch for your average person. The reason money is the issue here is: how many people can actually afford the $100-$200 a month to have a maid come and clean their home? Or the $50 a week for blue-apron or whatever grocery-delivery startup is running these days? Dog walkers are expensive too (upward of $20 per _walk_ where I live). Just those three services I listed could run upwards of a few hundred dollars a month, most people might not have that kind of spending money in their budget.
