Is it wrong to take placebo pills that will help us with our finances and success?
No , eat all you want , placebo pills have no effect , interesting question. It's like , Is it all right to breath air and drive in the traffic during lunchtime? Meaningless, I can't believe I even answered this question.

dito!
but that doesnt mean the one armed school cook cant weave baskets out of bannana peels while the dog sings metal mania by the light of a burned out bug zapper.
tell me my answer as too short,... ha!
Yes it is wrong if the pills are costing you a lot of money. How can you be financially successful when you are knowingly spending on something you know has no effect. Once you know a pill is a placebo, it is no longer a placebo.
Like Dan said... the pill loses its power once you know its a placebo. So why take it with that knowledge?
Well first; a pill to help you with finances and success? Can anyone seriously believe that such a thing exists?
Two; if you know it is a placebo it can't help you since the placebo effect depends entirely on the person taking it not knowing.
So as others have already said the best you can hope for is an acute "cashendectony" (the removal of cash) which is pretty much the opposite of what you are looking for.
If it is any help, by taking them you are helping the seller realize success.
