For me it had to be when I was thirty one. Had a great position with a Fortune 500 company, I was making more money than my Doctor brother with whom I've always had fierce competition with. He's still very successful in his practice today, but I have more toys. P.S. I have resigned two positions through the years which would not allow me to spend time with my wife and young son. Moneys nice but their my heart. You can't retrieve time lost.

For me my years in the Australian army. I reached the dizzy heights of sergeant, but any one can tell you sergeants run the army, all the others do is tell the sergeant what they want doing and then it is up to sarge to get it done with help of other NCOs and diggers.

Most importantly for me it made a self reliant man out of a boy.Taught me true mateship, instilled discipline and pride in me for me.

Why do people think of success in terms of money ?  When I saw this question.......I was asking my self when did my family need me the most, or when did I help people the most in the nursing proffession.  Ok, for me , it was in my forties. Yes, life begins at 40. That's when I fisrt got married. He was definately worth the wait. I did  a lot of good then in my job as an LPN. I also did substituge teaching then b/c I had changed careers from nursing to teaching when I was in my 30s.  But, in my 40s, I worked at both. I think I enriched my husband's life, b/c his first marriage was full of strife. He did have 2 kids and grand kids, however. And in my 40s, I enriched my elderly mother's life by helping her move and taking care of her medicai problems and took care of her business affairs.........as she became forgetfull.

        Then, at 51, it all came to a screeching halt, b/c my husb died, and 1 1/2 years later my mother died. I tried to reconstruct my life. I then got cancer at about 57 and spent a long tme trying to combat the side affects of the chemo.etc.  But for now , I'm ok, but I don't have anything to wrap my life around  :-(  

Don't have any familiy . My bro doesn't pay any attention to me and he lives in another state.

My step kids are nice to me, but they live in another state.
