I cannot say I have a "successful life", because my definition of successful could be different than yours.

I dropped out on my last semesters of CS BEng, and in retrospective, I think I made a great decision: After dropping out school I launched a community of Android Developers in Mexico, which a year later helped me close a 1 year contract with Motorola advocating about Android SDK. During the same year I did consulting gigs for Google here in Mexico also, which led to became the youngest ever Android SDK contractor in LATAM, at age 24.

This could sound great for you, but being totally honest, the main reason I dropped out was because I didn't feel passionate about the stuff I was doing there. On the other side, I fell in love with Android because I saw an opportunity of doing code and make a living, in a year where no one knew about that technology.
