You know better; next time will be a ban.
Quite a few financially sound people on this board.
Everyone's has their own rendition of success.

I'm with Alex. When you can go buy the car of your dreams and not have to worry a bit about it, that's when you've really made it. And what better to buy than a ferrari? That is my ultimate goal.
05 Chrysler 300 - Kitted on 22s
06 Quad Cab Dodge Ram 1500
I think this list is wayyy off.. ive seen maybe 2 names on the list id agree with.. if your talking about wealth. there are ferrari owners on this board
I have assets that help me to be financially stable since modern day society demands that. No I will not get into what I have because it’s proven that disclosing your funds only brings about adversity (for the most part).
But that’s not even remotely what I consider successful. All materialistic goods are soooo superficial (I’m glad I learned that early in life) that if you rely on them for happiness you life will be unstable.
If you base your happiness on materials, there’s a great possibility that once you get that nice car, you’ll want more. Once you buy that nice house, you’ll want a bigger one. We tend to forget “where we came from” and what our “original” goals were. Instead, when we advance one level we compare ourselves to the level above us so there will always be a reason to “not like where I’m at”
We should really pay attention to the more IMPORTANT things like health, a loving/trusting relationship with family and friends, spouse/partner, a strong spiritual relationship with whatever you believe in (no need to make this topic head elsewhere). And when I say that I mean a genuine relationship of trust - most people don’t have that. Of course you’ll have to generate some form of income but…
It’s so common to get so consumed in work that by the time you’ve made it, you don’t even know who your real family and friends. Sure you’ve got the nice lavish materials but do you really have the ingredients that make you truly successful?
Look people, there’s a reason why Wealthy people are so depressed they end up on crack and in rehab or commit suicide etc. LOL
I think if we all we more observant in life you will make the right decisions that will help you to live as happy and successful as possible.

I was actually about to post the same thing. Success means different things to different people. To some it is how much money you have. To others, which I think is more important, it is how happy and healthy you are.
Myself? I feel like I am almost to the successful point in my career in life. I have a good, healthy marriage. I have 3 great, healthy children with one on the way. I have an awesome residence. My income, in about 2 weeks, is going to be right where I'd like it to be.
As far as success goes? I'm good. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
Hell yeah Man, that's Marvelous (i'll probably never use that word on here again, sorry).
i can go on and on about this topic to drop some knowledge but I just can't type a novel on here man.
So if you need some knowledge- call Kevykev1800 - call me now
Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?
very true! i couldn't agree with you more on that
Learning everyday.
kevykev is droppin some mad knowledge!!! good job son
so the real question isnt who's the most successful, but who's the most truly happy person on IA. in that case, there is a long list......

and the 2 joined at the hip- the ole' man and ole' lady brett and leisa!
i'm working on mine. though i can say i'm successful in one area, but i've got more to improve on.
My opinion on someone who has made it is someone who can drop some money on something and not worry about it for the next few months.
I mean like 2-3K on something, and it not phase them or stress them out, whether they are making it back or not. But then again this might be small time me talking those numbers.
Im with Alex, when I pull up in my REAL big baller ride, then I'll say I made it.

Im sorry i dont think anyone on this Board cant touch Trinh,I do want to but his buisness out in the air. but from talking to him HES A TRUE BALLER!!!!
Every car he owns Ferrari,06 Infinitti Qx45,06 Nissan Titan,Skyline,Evo,Mustang,Civic,240.Im sure theres a few more cars.All paid in cash.
He plays the stock market alot and has made alot of cash from it.Plus being a dentist.
The country club he lives in 1 million plus dollar houses, i dont think anyone is near Trinh yet..Hopefully i will be there by the time im his age.Im getting there,but dont consider myself a baller yet!!!
no doubt he was my first choice.. i do know a few guys on the board that are there but not really who post that much... where has trinh been? haven't seen him on in a while.
every morning i wake up next to my wife i know i'm sucessful
Personally I think I side w/ the people here who says that "success" can not be directly tied w/ finances. I have a GANGSTA salary, as well as run 2 businesses. I still drive the cars that I WANT to drive. There is not a car that I could want that I can't afford to pay cash for... but that means nothing. I work w/ 6 figure (and not BARELY 6 figure, I mean DEEP into 6 figures) people everyday, and they are some of the most unhappy people I know at times. I know this b/c I am seemingly "Earths Counselor" and find myself w/ the only thing separating me from some1s HEART is a table or a telephone. This has taught me to NEVER look at some1 from the OUTSIDE and say "they have made it"... especially when I do dinner w/ them and they break down like powder --> the math does not add up. Sure, Forbes will not touch you for an interview if you are not financially secure... but also some of the happiest people I have seen work in the mailroom at my building and take the train to work b/c they have no choice. I think this was an AWESOME thread... but one that most people are not versed to debate. Even the people that "know" these "successful" people do not "know" them, unless they have been chosen and trusted to hear the "not so good" shit, like most of my friends/associates trust me with. I think a better topic would have been "Are you successful/ happy and why/why not? I think MUCH better answers would have flowed. The people that have seen my house, toys and smiles would likely post on here and say "Baby J got it together." But they only know what I have given them to know. There is always more. Just a small example --> the people that I left behind in Afghanistan and Baghdad who did not make it home, I feel like I failed them... and some of those people are the reason why I made it back. You can not see that when you see me goin overkill on simple things, picking up the tab when 20 of my friends go out, buying them cars when I know they are not gonna be able to pay me back on the schedule that they promise. There is always another side. To attempt to guage another mans happiness/sucess from the outside is never accurate. Not even close.
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
I'm broke, I don't have a running car, I am close to being fired from my job, all I do is drink and play online poker and lay out at the pool.
Bitches, beat that! I'm successful as hell.
Yup, that's pretty much the end of the thread.
if we are measuring bank accounts only as a means of success then i would have to say:
Big Baller, Trinh, NevernufTorq
I dont know actual figures, but if you see their play toys aka cars, then you know they have money to spend lol

Not to be gloating or anything give me about 3 years and Ill join the ranks of the six digits. Yes I'll be only 23 but hey I just like doing business and doing other stuff. I never knew that parents were in the six figure till I was 18. And that was just from one business. The other one pulled in about a high five digit but I just love doing what my father does and it pretty fun.
Living : I think, if you have a happy/healthy life and dont sweat the small things and keep drama out of your life, enjoy what you do and appreciate what you have accomplish, Then you are ok.
Financially : If you have a good job or business (s) and value/appreciate your hard work put into something, have a nice savings/planning ahead (retirement ) and do not live week to week like some , I think you are ok.
I really wish I had the Patience of people like clark howard, that Mofo will not spend a dime on anything he don't believe in. I know alot of us have spend money on shit that we are like WTF did I just do, I know I have.
Once I buy a house, I will be set, I am really in no rush and know what Im loosing out of right now, But in a year 1 or 2 maybe even less then that, Im jumping into it.
Financially Im there, mentally not ready for the big responsibility yet.
Alot of people in this country, I have learned and seen, that fake the funk alot. Living week to week.. No food in the fridge, Max out credit cards, bills late, No future retirement plans or simply live of credit.. Nothing.. But drive a pimp car and people think right away, ah shit hommie you balling..
if we're talking about financially successful - then i can only think of a couple of people who haven't been mentioned: Dan (not a member here) and Romeo.
Both are in the $M's and daily drive old accords. They are both self made.
baby j made some good points and so did julio, because those are the last threads i've read, since i dont want to start from where i last posted at. but to me a measure of success isnt entirely based on money, though i know that money is tied to everything that can make personal life/love POSSIBLY better. a blue colar man like most of us here who goes from a 1 bedroom hole-in the wall w/roaches, craskhead and hoes living next door to a comfy home of his own, income that pays for it and a vehicle to make getting around easier prolly appreciates those things more than someone who's born wealthy, i was happy with my accomplishments i've made in my life and though i'm starting over again completely, i've never forgotten the things it took to get there. and i'm looking forward to the struggle it's gonna take to relive those accomplishments and much more. life w/o some adversity isnt living.
Life is what you make it.
As long as you can find away to do the things you enjoy then you will always be happy
^^ LIAR!!! I wanted cheese grits at Waffle house and they didn't have any!!!

"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
I think all that yall said are very successful. Me on the other, I feel for my age(18) i am very successful, and stacking some bank, hopefully within the next few years ill be up there or close.
Its just a bodykit
Wow, I never assumed that success could be measured by a person's wealth. Give me the price on a father watching his baby girl blow bubbles. I know plenty of wealthy people who aren't successful, and vise versa. Its all about what you put your time and efforts into.....................just my two cents from a guy who loves to watch his girl blow bubbles, and her facial expression when daddy's car hits 10lbs.

2007 Update thread?
I try to make every year better than the last in all of my endeavors - in business and within my personal life.
That was a pretty good quote, good to see it again!
Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?
Over a year later... hnmm.... who stack some more? and who went broke? Who is happier? Anything new?
Different year...
J, all in all, im alot happier than i was a year ago, new truck, have a BEAUTIFUL baby boy that i would not trade for the world, and i get to see him grow up since i work from the house...
i could make a lil more doing what i do, but it would be a trade off of watching my boy grow up.. the forst years are the most important, and it is SOO true.
i am getting into the home/buisness automation thing with my brother now, so i have a few days gone outa the hose a week, but its not 5-6 days a week!
PS, if anyone need anything done let me know
