I don't think they are mutually exclusive.
Many people have wives and resources even if they did not fall for the scam, in fact I have kids and a girlfriend that I plan on impregnating. After all, those who create new realities are often free from the constraints of ideas such as laws, rules. And since the rules are there to repress and restrain economically it disenfranchises and hinders reproductive success more often than not.
Additionally, I actually think the demiurge needs to create a sort of dysgenic on the populations, low IQ, low attention hylics that can form the body of the demiurge. Its why they have sought to increase obesity and poison the food supply, in order to sell them drugs to keep the cycle of wealth and labour flowing from the debt slaves to the so called gods chosen people.
The paper money can in some ways be viewed as the blood of the demiurge and from this blood, it shapes humanity not by the Gods universal laws, but an unnatural selection that creates all the dysgenic niggers we see today that have become the Demiurges chosen people. So to counter your point I would argue that those that cooperate with the matrix are in fact the obese slobs that consume for the sake of consumption now that the resources scarcity of our ancient world has been overcome largely by technological societies.

Moreover, the earth is dying so there is no benefit from following such a structure now and we are heading towards impending doom with all the fancy cars and planes that you materialistic hylics love.
