One more reason to take a step back. This is an international, diverse crowd of people and obviously you'll find people that both earn more and people that earn less than you. I tend to think (guessing wildly) that we have a biased set here, though, with average+ developers participating on this site. If that is correct, you'd end up with a result set that is biased towards the upper end of the salary range as well..
In the end I'd try to find out what the comfortable amount of money to sustain your preferred lifestyle is. With that number in mind I, personally, would recommend looking for a job that does excite you, won't burn you out - and would rather take a hit on the salary side.. I'm not sure if that is something you're open to, though, since this thread topic started with salary alone, not salary vs. quality of life..
