Not sure why that would keep you away. By your definition a huge percentage of the population is successful.

As far as I know, most people are not successful by his definition. Almost everyone who is not rich is living paycheck-to-paycheck. There is no baseline system where working 40 to 60 hours a week guarantees a normal home/living/health situation.

People live paycheck-to-paycheck on a surprisingly wide range of incomes.
