Success if often measured by wealth and material belongings. Do you think wealth is the best measure of success? What makes a successful person?

There is no objective scale to measure success. Most people think that a wealthy

person

, who owns precious

stuff

is the most successful one,

although

it might not be true for some. A number of factors determine the progress of an individual, which ought to be understood rationally. Indeed, a wealthy

person

is thought to have an elite lifestyle due to which he can buy an enormous home, health-life insurance and educate his kids in a reputable institution. The cost of living has increased significantly during the years, due to which a poor

person

cannot afford these expensive

stuff

. As a consequence, wealthy people fully enjoy their lives, whereas the poor people fail in fulfilling the basic amenities.

Hence

, it can be perceived that by affording

this

stuff

, the progress becomes easier for

such

people and an improved lifestyle may be achieved. While, plenty of

stuff

may be bought from the market through hard-earned money,

this

illusion has become clearer for those who have all these things in their possession. A recent study has concluded that a successful

person

is the one, who marries at an early age and starts a family while in his 20's. The remarkable outcome of the study suggests that a happy

person

is more successful rather than a wealthy one,

therefore

those people advocating for a lavish lifestyle can only criticize

this

study without considering that happiness is not an outcome of having a lot of money. In conclusion, the idea of having lots of money looks good at the start, while it fails to achieve success, but with a loving family, anyone can enjoy a successful life, the parameter of which is happiness.
