Self-worth

Saw this on a billboard on the way down to Mississippi (actually in Miss'ippi):

Recession 101:

Self-worth beats Net-worth

I'd have said "greater than" rather than "beats"-- or better yet, ">"--  b/c it would have fit the theme better.  The background was a notebook page; worth is something that gets measured, like in a math class... . I'm a bit hypercritical about presentation & words.

But still, I think it's an excellent message.
