Success in life does NOT mean money to me. Because money without time has no value.

Time is a non-renewable resource. You can't gain more time, but you can always gain back more money.

Therefore success in my life is when I have the time and opportunities to pursue things which make me excited. Of course money is needed and can help greatly, but it certainly isn't the main goal.
