I'm sorry but this is terribly thoughtless. When you are given something the giver may be impoverished (ignoring any pleasure they get from giving) but when you provide a service or sell something both sides are happy. One receives the money they want more than the good/service and the other receives the good/service they want more than the money. Both are enriched. Without understanding this miracle you cannot understand many things about the world. This is why we don't still live in caves and spend all our time gathering food.
Gold is not wealth. It is only because it can be exchanged for a good or service that can be consumed that it has any value.
