You make a good point that a girl may potentially leave you, but you miss the fact that everything will eventually "leave you". Such is the truth of impermanence, your business might crash and you might become paralyzed so you can't gym anymore. Life is fundamentally unsatisfying or dukkha and accepting this truth will set you free from unnecessary suffering. It is the attachment or aversion to certain things that create our suffering and the Buddha taught that you could be free from this suffering
That may be true but i my opinion its better to build something then stay stagnant. If I build a business I become the person who is able to build a business making it easier for me the next time. And I know chasing material things are not the way to go but knowing that you have the option to possess whatever you want is better then not having an option. Also working towards a purpose that fulfills others is something that brings a lot of value even though you might suffer while doing it.
