Would you purposely climb a social ladder to reach your goal?

Question

by getting into the same interests with the wealthy.. golf, horse riding, making friends with the right wealthy men/women etc.

Answer 1

Sure as long as you're not doing anything wrong or hurting someone on the way

Answer 2

No.  I see this goal as being superficial and low in what should be a person's priorities in life.  It doesn't say anything good about the person who chooses to be a social climber.  Relationships are far more important as is integrity & contributing to the betterment of society.  In other words, being a person with character.
