It can often work the opposite of that. My brother is stuck in an industry he hates and unable to leave because his lifestyle is such that he couldn't take the income hit starting from near-scratch in another industry. He can't even really afford the income hit moving from a huge corporation to a fun little startup type gig.
And yeah, some of that is lifestyle, but lowering your standard of living is a lot harder when you've got a wife and 3 kids.
