It is how you define it, not how others define it.
Dont worry about keeping up with “the Jones’s”. Go your own way.
I’f your happy then that is success, isnt it?!

If you are happy, not struggling to eat and have a nice place to live then you should consider yourself successful. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

I would say so! Some people have huge debts that will take much longer to pay off. As long as you remain constant with your net income, you should be good. But I would make sure you are prepared for things like a car accident or illness or anything that might need a bit more money to fix

Personally… only you can define your own personal success. If you have achieved your goals, then you are successful.

Happiness is worth more than any $$

Dang straight successful isn’t a number, its being happy and secure. Do you have health insurance, and a plan if your car breaks? Other than that your doing fine, also does your pension increase or is it a fixed amount, that will hurt you when inflation and higher property taxes come around.
