+193 It's so dumb to gauge someone's success on how much money they make or what job they have. Money and possessions aren't the purpose of life, they are simply things you must have in order to carry on a greater purpose. What is success then? What is purpose? To become a better person and to contribute to a better world, whatever that might look like, amirite?

This is what poor people say to make themselves feel better.

It's how the world should be but isn't because it's a lot easier to live life with the single goal of earning money.

Agreed. If some pompous, rich asshole comes along bragging about how "successful" they are, just let them brag and move on.

I don't know, when I see a homeless guy I consider him much less successful then most people.

well as I said in OP, money is a means to an end. If you don't make money, it will be a lot harder to pursue a greater purpose. Homeless people are usually limited to an unsuccessful life because they do not have the money to get anything done

My parents have the impression that having an assload of money is the definition of success.
