If excessive income doesn't serve to increase my standard of living, why the hell am I getting up from bed every morning? Might as well get a lower paying job, if my standard of living should remain the same.

I highly doubt anyone would quit a high paying job because of that. You'd have access to more of society. It simply wouldn't be as much of a dip in quality.

Folks would leave stressful jobs or jobs that require you to work long hours.
