You're a success if you exceed the opportunity cost of doing something else....if not...well maybe think about things. This business isn't for everyone.
Re read the posts. The thread has been talking about successful webmasters.

My reply is that within that framework (webmaster) it's not the dollar amount - it's your standard of living. If you can do this as a full time job and you're happy with your standard of living, you are a success.

With the exception of someone who is doing a job they actually love, that is the only standard that matters, and there is no set 'dollar amount' for that. Depends on many things - geography (eg, cost of living), size of your family, personal financial goals, etc, etc.

Consult yourself when it comes to that standard, and don't live by the standards of others.
