What is your definition of SUCCESS?

***Admin*** · 10-13-03, 05:16 PM

Everybody has their own definition of success.
For some, higher income and a large bank account can mean success.
Owning and operating their own business can mean success.
Having a job with an income of $35,000 a year that provides health care and short hours can mean success.

What is your definition of success, in your life?

Being able to live the life I dreamed. That would include a well paying career (that won't give me financial roller coasters), a loving family, great friends, and some other tangible things (M3...house...)

Being able to manage my lifestyle - would like to have the weekends off for a time of myself (and family in future), always have a feast in the dinner table, no credit card debt, and vacations during holidays.

Living a rather comfortable life without worrying about finding a job and having fun with your career.

Supporting your own family and depending on yourself on everything (financially).

I would consider myself successful when I am able to send my children to private schools (elementary, junior high, heck, even high school) and then to a private institution.

Owning large stocks, capital and growing bank account. And being able to live comfortably on my future retirement.
But those things are maybe too early to think about.

Success - having my personal driver that drives me around so I won't have to worry about driving in a traffic jam.
Not worrying about what to eat because I have my own chef giving me an early notice of what is for dinner.
Having my own lawyer for all purposes.
