There's more to being a hedonist than having money.

There was a question posed when the NY governor was exposed as haiving used a high dollar call girl, why should someone who was charismatic and successful have to pay for his pleasure. The answer was the men in that position don't pay for sex, they pay for the woman to go away afterward, and not say anything.

As far as the measure of success being financial, I have always rejected that idea. The most important job I have ever had in my life was raising two sons who are now happy, responsible, and purusing their education in areas that excite them. I would like to think that their mother and I have taught them to measure their success in meaningful ways.
