> There is always some amount of money

BS.

Happiness as a function of wealth is not a linear curve. After the first few millions, a hundred millions or a billion isn't that a big deal.

Therefore, if the price to justify some headache or discomfort is above a million or so, just getting rid of the headache is more valuable.

Happiness isn't the only thing we care about. With enough money, I'd start thinking about optimizing the world, or at least give something to the most efficient charities out there.

With enough money, I would do the same. With too much money (say in the billion range) I think I would go all well-intentioned super villain on the world.

[loup-vaillant]

Seriously, if you're careful enough, that could be a good thing.

Hundreds of millions is two orders of magnitude more money than "the first few millions." To me that seems pretty significant. And even more so when you factor in how many more things (or even classes of things) you can buy with $10E8 vs. $10E6.

There's nothing I want to buy that a few million won't cover.
