How Does Your Mindset Affect Your Financial Success?

I don’t think it’s as simple as mindset. A lot of things go into financial success—and before we can even answer the question, we have to define what financial success actually means.

If someone is happy, enjoys their life, works as a dishwasher, and has enough money to meet their needs, isn’t that financial success?

Then you have someone else who is completely money-driven. They accumulate more and more, can afford almost anything they want, but somehow “enough” is never enough.

Are they financially successful if they’re not happy?

I think financial success is really about doing your best with the time you have and finding a balance between the life you want, the things you need, and whatever unexpected things life decides to throw at you.

Logic would tell me that, based on the life I’ve lived, I should have saved a lot more heading into retirement. But life doesn’t always follow the plan you made twenty or thirty years ago.

I didn’t end up exactly where I thought I would financially.

But I’m happy with what I have.

And I’ve learned to accept what I can’t change, appreciate what I can, and enjoy the life I’m living now.

Maybe that’s a form of financial success, too.
