On the aerodynamicity of aspidistras

How would we summarise the points made in KTAF?

1) That the worst thing about being poor is being middle class? I
suppose this is true in the sense that when I had a working class
income I intuitively spent the bulk of it on a middle-class town flat,
whereas someone economically identical to me would have gone for a
council place. It wasn't conscious snobbery, but a kind of intuition
regarding priority.

2) Directly, it is only the spare change in one's back pocket at a
given time that determines one's social inclusion -- that allows one to
be mobile, flexible, spontaneous, social, charming, curtious, generous,
indoors-away-from-home. When these fundamentals are removed, there is a
barrier between one and the rest of society, including friends.

3) That it is the worship of money, rather than the absence of it, that
is problematic. Even when Gordon got hold of a few quid, his spending
it on revelry was just another form of money-worship, that left him
worse off than when he was penniless.

4) That there is no economic compromise to comfortably accommodate a
little-published full-time writer with no fortune.

How many of these do we agree with, and how many are true today?
