It's interesting how different people define success. It sounds like Mr. Adams defines success by how much money you have. My definition of success is enough

It's interesting how different people define success.
It sounds like Mr. Adams defines success by how much money you have.
My definition of success is enough income to allow me to mostly ignore money[1] and instead can spend my days doing things that genuinely interest me, with people I genuinely like.
[1] eg not having to worry about working out which yoghurt is the best value for money at the supermarket, not being afraid to go to the doctors because I can't afford it, having enough saved up that if I want to take a few months off employment to do my own thing I can, stuff like that.
- icelancer 13y ago[1] Is the same definition as Scott's if you word it that way. That's millions of dollars before you can think that way.
- SCdF 13y agoI don't have millions or dollars (or even close) and I do think that way. All those examples were actually things I've done in the past. Are you American? Is the American healthcare system so bad that you feel you need millions of dollars to survive it? Or is it just that for you to be able to ignore money you need to have so much of it that you can snap purchase ferraris? FWIW when I say don't think about money I mean for mundane every day things, like going to the supermarket or the doctors, or not being tied down to work a job you hate because you need need need that paycheck that comes every month. I'm talking about flexibility, not the ability to buy everything you've ever wanted :-)
