As me, success is having a happy family with 2 children and a good husband. I love money but money is not the most important. I only want to have enough money to help my relatives when they need. How are you?

My best measure of success is having my family and our health. As far as money goes i think success would be to be able to get the things you NEED and a few things you WANT and not have to worry about if you are going to make all your bills for the month. Also to be able to save enough to have a COMFORTABLE retirement. I guess I would say success would be to have the above, not necessarily to have fame and fortune but not to struggle either.

@ryzach may I add happiness which pretty much sums up all that you posted. Happiness is great health, comfortability with finances, comfortable retirement and so on.
See when we succeed there is no standard as to what level that success rate is as mine may be lower than others but being truly happy alongside with what you posted makes for a very successful and content life. Very well said.

I understand what you mean. Money can't buy happiness, but it can make things easier in a way..
I've found a really good link that now has me earning five dollars a day without doing anything, so I'm pretty happy. Hopefully I can start making more to support my family better. I'm sure I'll be up to fifteen dollars or so a day within the next two weeks and so forth.

I think success is having a good career that I enjoy. Enough money to live well. Have family who love me for who I am and not for what I will never be. Probably have a nice warm home to return to every night with food on the table and a warm bed to sleep in.
This is what I think success is

I glad that this is your definition of success. It would be great if there were more people like you around.
Since young, I have this mentality that having lots and lots and lots of money does not equate to happiness nor success.
Money is definitely important, but it cannot buy you a man who loves you more than anything in the world, it cannot bring you children that will be filial to you, neither can it buy you real friends.
In the society, money is necessary. All of us need money to fill our stomachs, buy a roof over our head, pay for our bills etc. However, I don't want my future husband to be working 20 hours a day with no time for me nor our children. What is the point of having so much money if family members do not even have time to spend with each other? From my point of view, I think that as long as our basic survival is not at stake and we have extra money for leisure, relaxing, that is enough.
