Is financial standing the basis of success? Once you're dead who cares? A financial legacy doesn't live on when you're gone. Who you were, the life you lived and the people you touched will. I think success is a personal definition and that issues people have tend to be around meeting or not meeting someone else's definition of success. I was an excellent student, my folks really pushed for me to think of Law as a career. They were disappointed in Social Work which they thought was low paying and servile. I make enough to meet my physical needs, am not by any means rich but I am satisfied with myself and the job I do. My legacy will be the way I lived my life rather than what I leave behind when I'm gone.
