Making millions on the stock market could be seen as a waste of time to somebody who's more interested in doing well on the Second Life game or whatever.

If you look at things in terms of making money and contributing to the 'real world' then almost every hobby is a waste of time.

I mean, does it really matter if it's real life or not? Money might be completely unimportant to somebody... if they already make enough from their day job they're free to do whatever's fun for them in their spare time.
