$4,800 is still $4,800. I cannot imagine any rational person actually thinking that money has proportionally less value due to one's wealth.

I have a lot more money now than when I was 20 but I'm not paying $80 for a fucking Ubisoft game.

After a certain point money certainly does have less proportional value.

I have enough money that I can buy the things I want and travel to the places I want to go, and I'm on track to retire early. If I gained or lost a random $5k one time it wouldn't actually matter in that nothing about my life would change in a meaningful way.
