Success for me is being self sufficient with the ability to have fun in a money focused society
.
Lots of money may not make me happy but a lack of it sure makes me miserable.
Money opens doors and helps find jobs. Having money can allow access to better jobs and more places that have them.
Partners expect you to be able to make money so it's unlikely you'll have a successful relationship without it.
People like to be friends with successful people which requires money.
So, no money means no friends, no relationship, no fun, no job and no success.
