Balderdash. Most often the fruit of laborious is money. We could go back to trading only what we make, but if we ever really did it is an inferior system.

The fruit of labor is always measurable change in the condition of something; the money is compensation therefor, not the fruits thereof.

Money is only and always simply a means of exchange.
