Well - may sound like a dumb answer but I do not think that sacrificing any of the above would lead to success. I guess I would need the meaning of success defined. I consider myself successful in what I do and while I do not make a million a year I do not need that for me to be successful. Maybe a better question would be what would you be willing to sacrifice to be happy.

That's the point. I think everyone would like to have all the things on the list. You (everyone) have to define what success is to you. Then decide what is necessary to achieve it, and what is not.
