Success is so much more than money and isn't money in and of itself. I would say to look at money as the base because once the financials are in order, it's much easier to focus on and give more time everything else- family, friends, etc. However, it's hard to be successful without money.
The benchmark for success is different for everyone, because people whose lives still look simple in the eyes of others can also be said to be successful as long as they don't have debts or loans that they have to pay off every month. And every income earned can be directly enjoyed for every need they need, because they live without any pressure on them.
It's true that being a successful person doesn't have to be rich, people who live simply and can feel happy, in my opinion are successful people.
Moreover, being able to live without having debt seems to be the desire of many people, but unfortunately with the bad economic situation,
most people would find it difficult to live without debt. So who can live without debt, in my view people it can be said to be successful.
Even I have a rich friend but he doesn't feel happiness in his life, because my friend is very busy and much time is spent working, he lost his time
with his family because he spent too much time working. Finally my friend feels lonely in his life, which for him success can live happily with his family.
So the definition of success is different for everyone. In my opinion, success is if I can live happily with my family and can meet all the needs of
my family's life.
