Bumping mine to 75k would make us happier, but the significance wouldn't be as high as moving hers.
I think people with 75k+ paying jobs probably have stressful jobs.
Well...I don't find my job stressful at all. I find taking care of my kids to be more stressful.
I don't quite make $75k, but I can expect to at next raise, & expect to make more from there. I don't expect my job to change, just my time put in at the firm.
I will definitely be happier with each raise. I will also be happier when I get to stop spending half my take home on daycare, pay off cars, etc.
I don't really know what my point is, other than having more extra $ increases quality of life.
It can also be true that the type of person who pushes themself to a certain level of success also is the dirty of person for which nothing is ever good enough & will never be satisfied/happy.
