Summary

This quote highlights the changing perception of success and monetary value over time. It invokes nostalgia for a time when having $25,000 was considered a significant achievement. However, the quote suggests that inflation and societal shifts have diminished the worth of this sum to the point where it is now likened to a comparatively low-status occupation like being a garbage collector. It juxtaposes past and present to illustrate how subjective and relative our definitions of success can be in an evolving world.
