What do Namibians treasure most? After some searching I found the original questionnaire for the "Love of Money". Now YOU
can determine what is most important to you! Quote: Questionnaire - How would you define financial success? Please choose your top three of the following definitions of financial success, and rank them one to three.
- I know I will have enough money to pay for my food and housing this month
- I provide for my family and have a little to save for a rainy day
- I own my home
- I can afford to give my children a university education
- I can buy whatever I wish without worrying about the cost
- I run my own business
- I can afford the luxuries of life like holidays whenever I want and a good quality car
- I own investments in property, shares, bonds, funds etc.
- I have no debt
- I have a fully self-funded retirement
- For the three definitions you just chose, please say whether you are confident you can achieve them or not?
- Could you please tell me which one of the following statements best applies to the income of your household?
- We earn enough money just for housing, food and clothing for the family.
- We earn enough money for housing, food and clothing and can also safe some extra money for other goods like washing machine, CD player, other electronic devices but cannot afford a car.
- We earn enough money to have housing, food, clothing and all appliances in our house like microwave oven, automatic washing machine, colour TV, CD player and can afford a car.
- We earn enough money to afford all appliances in our house like microwave oven, automatic washing machine, colour TV, CD player and can afford a good quality car and vacations at least once every year.
- We earn enough money to afford all modern appliances, a good quality car, at least one vacation a year and save money for future needs like purchasing a house, sending children/grandchildren to university, or retirement.
- We can afford all the things we want for our lifestyle.
- Please tell whether you agree or disagree with the following statements:
- Success is about having what you need, not necessarily having everything you want
- I think about money - and how to get more of it regularly
- Financial success is more due to good luck than good management
- I would be happier if I had more money
- The time it takes to become financially successful is not worth the time it takes away from other, more important things
- The more money one has, the more problems one has
- Which of the following do you do regularly to improve your chance of being financially successful (or staying that way)?
- Attend lectures or seminars
- Take courses
- Talk with an accountant / financial adviser
- Make your own financial plan and / or budget
- Set yourself financial goals

- Work hard to ensure you are in a well-paying job
