The Short Answer
Money is a weird thing. If you ask scientists, it doesn't take a lot of money to be happy: the money varies from place to place, but by the time you are earning $75K/year, there are very few areas in the US you can live and not have your income adversely effecting your happiness. And wherever you are, once you are past the local income required for baseline happiness (called a "living wage"), increased isn't correlated to increased happiness. However, if you ask people in the US what amount they would need to be happy, most people will give an income slightly higher than they are currently earning. And it doesn't matter if they are earning minimum wage at a part time job, or a millionaire earning hundreds of thousands a year; many people are fundamentally dissatisfied with the amount of money they are earning. And knowing that, doing anything for a little more money makes complete sense.
