"there is no other model for success other than sticking out with wealth"
Serious? Trolling? Of course you can choose in between. You just gave two examples of people I'd say were more successful at life than the 70-hour-a-week slave who has a massive house and no fun, whose kids hate him (hi Dad) because making money was always so much more important than anything else, who gets to retirement age and finds herself no longer healthy enough to take all those trips she put off because she was too busy working. How about being happy? It's not as obvious, no. But weren't we always the ones who didn't give a crap what anyone else thought? If someone looks at me and says, Her house has no spare room, I look back and say, What time do you set your alarm for? I DON'T SET MINE. I win!
