For me, yes. All the money in the world isn't worth it if my day to day life gets worse. I don't think it's that I'm really affluent, but more than I value some things more than money. I have a roof over my head and food on the table, so outside of that my goal is to lead a happy life. I don't think a few tens of thousands of dollars would make me happier than using an indoor bathroom, or using Google does.

It's just that I don't think you realise that 50K is more than most people make in a year. For some people, even Europeans, it could easily mean doubling, or tripling their salary for a year. That's not just "a few tens of thousands of dollars", that's literally enough to ensure an easier life for a few years. Which is why I think you don't even realise it, but you're affluent (compared to world standards).
