Not meant as an insult but I can't help but think you'll never be happy. The person who scoffs at a few hundred k is usually the person who ends up scoffing at a few million when they get that and so on.
Happiness is accepting the good luck you get and not letting yourself become fixated on the great luck you didn't.
I'm not scoffing at a few hundred K, I'm just saying that if someone uses the whole money=happiness equation, then they'll want more than the basic things.
But if you think about it, your basic necessities are more or less taken care off once you hit middle class. Pretty much the only difference after that is the size of someone's house, the car you drive and the vacations you take. Everything else is more or less equal.

50K = Honda + Decent house + 1 vacation costing $3K
100K = BMW + Slightly better house + 1 vacation costing $6K
1mm = Ferrari + BMW, Big Mansion + 1 vacation costing $15K + maybe a yacht
