Class envy never gets anyone anywhere.

That's true. Also, mischaracterizing things as class envy to make oneself feel better also gets one nowhere.

Not everyone is motivated by money though. Some of us just want enough to not worry about where the money is going to come from to sustain ourselves, and enough left over to go out and have some fun.
If I had a billion dollars, I'd get out of debt, get my car and house fixed up, have my parents debt eliminated and their house fixed, the same for my sister, and probably my inlaws. I'd then get a recording studio, put the rest back for school, and have plenty left over. I wouldn't want a big house, big boat, an expensive car that is expensive only because of the name, 5-star resorts, or any other rich luxuries. Not everyone does. Myself, I would rather give the extra money to help others than to waste it all on pointless luxuries. I could be the richest person ever, and I would be perfectly content living in a double wide.

Except for the proletariat that over rises class.

I guess when you consider the FDA, Welfare, The 40 hour work week, Medicare, anti-trust laws, inheritance tax, democracy, social equality, etc. etc. etc. as 'nowhere', that would be 'somewhere' worth being...
I think you envy the lower classes because they actually can and do get themselves and others somewhere.
