Answering the “What do you want in life?” question

The answer to “What do you want in life” would be most often answered in objectives – A good house, fancy car, lovely long holidays and more. Very few of us can define our life needs, the way this person has done it:

Clarifying success in terms of daily life vs. dollars made it easy to agree on how much was “enough.”
