I'm calling shenanigans on the large number of people who voted "money." Every one of them was thinking, "Yeah, I don't need to be rich," and we all know that everyone's definition of rich is "someone who makes more than I do."

Not picking on you with the quote Perry, you just happened to sum up exactly what I think all those others were thinking to themselves. IMHO the above means you're not actually "giving up" money--by comparison, how many people thought giving up love would mean being completely bereft of any love in their lives? No one looked at the "love" choice and said, "Well, I need to know that there are a couple people out there who care for me, just enough to keep me from being suicidal, but beyond that I don't need a lot of love so I'll check that box."

In the end, I don't think very many people who voted would consider themselves "successful" if they were completely and totally dirt poor.
