I used to think that as well. When I started out, it was "I'll be happy when I make 50k." Got a job at 60k, and it quickly became, "Man, if I had 100k per year, I'd be all set." Got that job. "Ok, 100k is almost doing it. 150, and I know I'll be good." That came and went as well. Every single time, my lifestyle adjusted to my income.

The biggest challenge to becoming wealthy is not the income, it's the saving. I'm still working on that one.
