[quote=Anonymous]How old are you? 34

How much money do YOU make? (This is only your individual income- not your HHI) $100k

Do you consider yourself successful? (based on your own definition of successful) Yes.  I have a career that I like and a job that values my contributions and is engaging and stimulating.  Also has great work/life balance.

What do you think contributed to your success or your lack thereof? (example- an ivy education, good parents, etc? ) PhD in a marketable field, strong parental support (they paid my in-state tuition, so I had no loans), and luck!

Are you satisfied with your life? Yes.  Sure, more money and a shorter commute would be nice, but we have everything that we need and then some.

Is your level of satisfaction connected to how much money you have? To an extent.  If we had to worry about how we were going to eat or if we were going to be evicted for not paying rent, that would be terrible.  But once you have enough to make sure the basics + a little extra are covered, then I don't know how much happier you'd be with a ton more money.  We can't afford fancy vacations and we probably won't be able to pay full freight at a private college for our kids, but we have a comfortable home in a great school district, drive reliable cars, take modest vacations, and generally enjoy life.[/quote]
