Success should be determined by how you feel, happy or unhappy, not by how much money you make. It should be measure by the amount of gaols you have achieved, quality of friends and family and how good you feel about yourself. Money is good to have because it relieves you from the stress of worrying about financial issues but money alone will not give you happiness or success in life.
