Summary

This quote suggests that the notion of success is often tied to one's ability to fulfill financial responsibilities. The moment the speaker began taking care of their financial obligations, they were perceived as successful by others. However, it implies that success should not be solely defined by financial achievements, as there are various aspects of life that contribute to one's overall fulfillment and accomplishments. It highlights the narrow perspective of society in equating financial stability with success, potentially disregarding other meaningful experiences and personal growth.
