Not at all quality life is much more important for me :)

if I ever retire it will be to be a poet on the beach, writing for myself. minimal internet-capable devices and clothes/stuff and so much music and people

I'm surprised no one has said they measure success in terms of how many people they've helped

Why? When you have genuinely helped people out, the last thing you want to do, is to be seen to be boasting about it...

Success is merely a choice - Let me explain.

2 guys are stood outside an electrical store. Looking at a washing machine in the window. Both have exactly the same amount of money coming in each week, exactly the same balance in their bank accounts, exactly the same credit scores and exactly the same need to return home with a washing machine...

Guy 1 looks at it and says to himself - "I can't afford that' - and goes home
Guy 2 looks at it and says "How can I afford that?' - and starts thinking of ways he can get the money to purchase it...

Neither of them leaves with the washing machine, but who has the greater chance of getting it in the future? Well guy 2 of course. But thats not to say he 'Will' be successful in getting it... Its just to say that guy 1 has already given up because he can't afford it and has gone home. He has closed the door to the success of having the washing machine, but for guy 2, it still remains a poosibilty in his future.

Success = What you make it...

The man is coming on the boat and ask captain we pay a lot of money for this trip, what about something special? Yeah, sure, captain answered. The man entered the cabin and saw one latina, one miami, one chilie.. And his straight question where is miss ebony and miss narrow-eyed

I helped at least two people, who fucked me after that.
I helped more, but won't brag about that.

Every happiness starts with money, let's be honest.

Same, i actually dont get how some people are so greedy they just keep accumulating and accumulating. For me it's enough to have passive income which will cover regular expenses and that's it. I have zero need for any kind of luxury.

Only as negative parameter , where lack of it can make you unhappy.
