If you live in the US, making at least $65000 a year is a start. Studies show that people are less happy earning less and it gets worse the less you make. However there's no significant increase in happiness after eclipsing the $65k threshold.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the Lamentations of the women.

In our case, it was four good, honest, hardworking, God fearing kids. And Mrs. AZ gets most of the credit

We were blessed.....

Understanding what is most important; that is, the world is not about you.

God, family, then me.

(Thanks, Gale)

Middle class lifestyle is pretty damn good in this country. It's a lifestyle that's waaaaaaay better than a 17th century king at his peak.

Happiness is key..to me, at least. That and friendship..I'd rather not exist than be without those 2. Trying the best I can in everything I do, even if I fall flat on my face, I will sleep better knowing I did the best that I could. That, to me, is success.

also, living life on my own terms, the way I want to live it, without having to conform to "society's standards"

To provide through hard honest work for my spouse and children to have every opportunity to reach their full potential and be able to live a life as good or better than mine. Also to make at least a small positive difference in the lives of any others I may encounter along the way.

Those nasty things with crooked and yellow/brown teeth and hair all over their bodies, while being mildly chubby to really fat as hell?

Those women?

I would say going to to college, getting a job as either a doctor, athlete, or entertainer. Making a salary of between $70,000 and 100,000. Getting married, having twins. Avoiding the split-level house, retiring to Millionaire Estates at the end.

Marrying a cool above average looking chick that likes to have sex and isn't high maintenance like most OT 10's.

Be able to hunt/fish whenever I please.

Send my offspring into the world and pay for their education.
