When it comes to determining the right level of financial success or wealth for you, you have to decide what's really important to you and then view money as a tool helping you obtain your objectives in life. It's not an end reward unto itself. We all have to find the right amount of balance in our lives. It starts by saying "What do I want out of life in terms of material things? What do I want out of life in terms of time with my family?" Then you use money to help figure out how much you'll need to get there, so you can achieve that balance.
