I don't think blogposts like these need all kinds of disclaimers. Of course relationships are about the actual relationship. It doesn't need to be stated explicitely.

What I got from the blogpost is that people shouldn't wait for somebody to bail them out financially. That's sound (but not very insightful) advice.

To reduce that to "being exclusively interested in money" is rubbish.
