I mean, there's a lot of talk about successful people being defined as they have a nice job, nice car, and a large bank account, but do you all accept that as success?

If not those things, then what?
Each person sets their own personal goals for success and strongly related to that...happiness.
People will judge other peoples success by thier own standards to some extent, recognizing also that people have their own goals. (Depending on how open minded they are.)
I know a guy I went to highschool with that makes little money as a mechanic. He has a tidy little house in a small town and has been married to his highschool sweetheart for probably close to 20 years now and she is frankly a "10" inside and out and they have a nice kid. I don't know many people more successful than him (or her).

To me that man is incredibly successful. I am very much jealous of him.
Let's watch this thread divide itself between "populist" success and "ambitious" success.
In my experience, the two sides have never reached a consensus.
For me, personally, both are important and ambitious success is definitely two notches up. Despite the disparity, they're more like the sine and cosine components of a trigonometric identity
At the fundamental level, success is being able to make your own way in the world without being a burden to others, and achieving emotional contentment while doing it.

And this has what exactly to do with RELATIONSHIPS?
MODS: Think this is more appropriate in the "Business, Finance and Investing" forum.

It has a lot to do with it! If you read the responses, most people are giving very relationship oriented responses.
