No, you don't need to be rich or successful to live a simple life. There are many different ways to live a simple life without sacrificing anything. Some ways you can live a simple life without sacrificing anything include: spending more time with family and friends, living in a rural area instead of an urban one, eating home-cooked food, and using natural resources sparingly. You don't have to spend all your time working either. You can still enjoy your hobbies and interests while living a simple life. And if money is an issue for you, you can always find ways to cut back on expenses.
