If you're a well off family with a house+retirement savings near 7 figures $10,000 still matters. Live changing, no, but it still matters.
1% of your net worth is a lot. >

A penny 'matters'. The functional impact of losing proportions still decreases as the total volume available increases.
e.g. losing 90% of 1,000 times more than you need is less detrimental than losing 1% of what you need. >

I'd give it all away, for just a little bit more.

Alright, Mr. Burns. And your first name? >

I wholeheartedly agree, if you ever cop for ten grand please contact me and I can guarantee one hundred percent you'll never see it again. >

It's all about the comparing percentage, the 10$ discount on 20$ item would be must have to you and you would run to another miles for it, but 10$ discount on 10000$ item would be ignorable to you and you wont go to another shop for 10$ now >

I have $100,000 and I'd still be thrilled to get another $10,000!
