Yeah. I had experience in the 3 ranges. Most of my life was in a 'good pay, but nothing too much' - which would probably translate as in the 40-70k. That was back in Brazil, so numbers don't just convert as easily. For that range, you are glad you have a decent pay, and make more than MANY people, but still care for more money, as you will not have much left for extra spendings like travel, buying new shiny things, getting a new car (in Brazil), or in case of an emergency. With 100k you can stop thinking about getting more money and at least not have that as a goal. Which of course is liberating and make life so much easier. The difference from 50k to 100k is way bigger than 100k to 150k.
