This is a super interesting question!
For me IDK if any amount of money would significantly improve my life. I'm not terribly materialistic and I'm happy with what I have/don't feel like I immediately want or am missing something. I make good money and stash as much as possible while still enjoying nights out with friends and buying whatever I want.
I'm currently saving up a quarter million for a house down payment, and while it's a lot of money my quality of life/overall happiness would be the same so I wouldn't call the change significant. Things are really good in my life for once, and it's nice to be able to recognize that. Thanks for the question it actually made me really happy to think about how lucky I am.
I hope others in this thread who need it can find some fortune in their future.
