Western society equates worth with prosperity.
Prosperity gospel, the protestant work ethic - Christian ideology intimately connects our financial and social status with our 'favour' with God. If we are prospering it is God's will and reward for our obedience. If we are struggling, it's because we've strayed, we are not obedient, or hard-working, we are not favoured or rewarded by god.
