I strongly think this is the wrong attitude. After a point, money does not buy happiness, job satisfaction or sanity.

Nobody is going to say no to 100k to 150k bump from developing to managing.

200k to 250k is a different story.

It is all relative, but in general vast majority of people would be in first example.

"After a point", yes.

But that point—at least in terms of its dollar value—keeps rising, and these days it's out of reach of far too many non-managers.

Yeah, but I want to get to that point.

Currently, there are a lot of things in my life (old house, old cars, etc) that more money will simply remove from being a headache in my life.
