For me it is when you don’t have to worry about making money to sustain yourself and those around you, and you can only “work” on what you care about, not what just because you have to.

Financial success is a moving target. It is different for everyone.

I used to define it as being $5 million liquid. Now, I define it as being able to rule my time and say no to the demands of others– that requires money, but not necessarily $5 million.

Mine is also when I have enough passive income to cover our current income for the rest of our lives. Our needs are modest, if we continue to earn out current income + inflation, my husband and I can choose our work (or not). In my case, it would be just to work a three days for the mental challenge and to socialize with my co-workers.

Ditto what you said. I just want to own my own house, pay off my student loan and not worry about money anymore–that may mean diversifying into brick and mortar type businesses using funds from mmo. It’s really empowering to know I can make my own money. I don’t want to _need_ anyone to employ me ever again.
