She then concludes that relationships are a distraction from life's real goal of making money.
Given those two goals, I can't fault her for deciding that relationships are worthless, because they are only very, very rarely a good way to get your hands on money, and people of Disney level flawlessness just don't exist.
But those are really shitty, really selfish reasons to get into a relationship. If you are exclusively interested in only your own needs, of course your relationships will fail. There's no relating going on. It's only about you, and maybe money.

To reduce that to "being exclusively interested in money" is rubbish.
The article is a veritable cornucopia of formatting. Just, wow.
