Do not feel successful and want to get out because they are MISERABLE.
Only when you have so much money in the bank that you do not have to work anymore. (MININUm $1M++ $50k INTEREST)
Is the only time you can label yourself
"SUCCESSFUL"
All this
"eye of the beholder",
"Make more money then my day job" ,
"I have 3 beautiful kids I feel very successful"
kinds of bullshit thoughts
will only limit you to being a working slave.
Its all about if you can never work again in your life = YOU SUCCESSFUL.
Anything else = YOU ARE STILL NOT SUCCESSFUL PERIOD.

Just because YOU have low self esteem doesn't mean others have to follow suit. I'm sorry that if someone who makes a few $K a month feels successful that makes you angry.
Fact is if some dude was working at McDonald's for $6 an hour( which is only $1040 a month ) and now makes $3000 a month feels successful he in fact IS successful.
Also you are confusing financial wealth with success. 2 completely different things. Is a bench warming player who rarely plays in a game on a perennial losing baseball team making $300K a year a success? Financially he makes more than 99% of Americans. I wouldn't call him a success though.
