While I agree it's a little easier for a famous millionaire to say it, I think you're missing the point, which is that "success" is subjective and everybody decides for themselves what's important. It's only a rat-race if you choose it. Nicklaus wasn't saying, "I have economic success, so now I focus on my other priorities," but instead, "My family is my priority, and I make economic success fit around them." Personally, I don't see any danger in more ordinary people taking that advice. Realistically, most of us won't be rich and famous no matter how hard we try, so why sacrifice so much trying to do so? Focus on something more realistic, like enjoying family or recreation.
