What is your meaning of wealth and success?

What does it mount to when we stand before a Holy, Righteous and Just God????

Update:

In no way i'm saying that a individual should strive to be poor...But should wealth and success be our # 1 priority over God, Family, Relationships, etc...

Update 2:

Are the things we chase in life or spend our time chasing considered vanity??? As it is all temporary....

    To me, Wealth typically means having many things in your possession (whether that be money, resources, material objects, etc).

    To me, Success typically means that one has achieved established objectives and goals.

    And it does not mount to anything when you are dead, except that some of the living people may briefly remember you for what you have done.

    A wise person once said something like "a rich person is not one who has lots of things, but rather it is a person who appreciates what they have and understands what they really need."

    Don't get me wrong, I still want to win a big lottery, but I am very happy with what I currently have.

    It won't mean anything then. That doesn't mean you should try to actively be poor.
