Very much the same for me. I don't begrudge anyone their salaries, savings, or possessions, but as I've watched this deal with Muschamp unfold, and heard all the opinions of what he'll do and won't do for whatever reasons I've been thinking, in actuality, what is the difference between 1.6 million and 1.2 million, really?

Not picking on him in particular, but where is the line where the salary jump really doesn't make a difference.

We had a great lady leave our company last month over a 3,000 annual raise. 3,000 (10% of her salary) was a lot to her and would impact her lifestyle in a significant way, but 10% makes very little difference to someone making 200K, other than more for the stockpile.... or does it make a huge difference?
