Poor mindset

That is the biggest misconception about Islam. Islam discourages arrogance, not rich lifestyle.

One of the ten sahabis who were given the news of paradise in their lives, was abdul rahman bin auf. He was a very rich person, and promised prophet (when prophet was on his death bed), that after you, I will reserve the earning of one of my garden of dates to take care of your family. Prophet became so happy that he gave Abdul Rahman, basharat of jannat.

There is another example when abu bakr said that he likes to wear expensive clothes and prophet told him to do so.

There were sahabis who actually came from well off backgrounds, they were genuinely rich before converting to Islam and there were sahabis who got so much success from their business where they applied all the Islamic mannerism and rules of trading. That is totally different. Your posts are actually looking down at humble lifestyle, dismissing it and treating it with disdain while this was the lifestyle of Prophet Muahammad pbuh who is described as best of the creation. If you think leading the simple and humble lifestyle is selfish and useless then perhaps all Muslims should reject emulating the life of Muhammad pbuh?
