I don't feel bad because of some silly concept like "self-worth." More money means I wouldn't have to feel squeezed when the pharmacy sends me the bill at the end of the month. Money means freedom, and only after some point does it become a penis measuring contest.

Obligatory comment that countries exist where the "pharmacy bill" is either $0 or sufficiently low that it will never cause stress.
For people living in those countries, health costs are no longer an incentive to earn a lot. In the UK in fact, the pharmacy is free for people on low incomes but roughly £120/year for everyone else. The same applies to the dentist.
