About This Quote

"Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money." In this quote, George Burns was pointing out that money is not the be-all and end-all of life. It’s a good thing, but it doesn’t mean we have to devote our whole lives to making money. We can have a great life without worrying about all the things that go on outside of our own personal sphere. We can have a successful career and a fulfilling family life, even if we don't make a lot of money doing those things.
