Not a bad deal.

Perfect!
I am big on less responsibility and more money.
One of my big pet peeves at work are the go get her's. Oh lord really? they are so annoying. "I got here at 6 and stayed until 8". Wow proud of you.
"I am manager of XYZ department". Great enjoy the babysitting.
Too me give me a well paying job with low stress. I will still work hard for you but I am not wasting my days in a office environment trying to be the "best".
My dad is a straight up workaholic has a massed large amounts of wealth doing it. IT came at the price of my sister and I not knowing him that well growing up. He is retired now and we do a lot with him now and he realizes to a degree that all those accomplishment really don't mean much now.
You might be the Bee's Knee's right now at XYZ busting your ass but someday you will move on and they will forget you. Put you and your family first in what ever you do; if you do a good job with them they will never forgot you.
Another gear wrench of mine is folks that think they are bad ass because of their job title. You have seen them at parties "oh hold on important work call got take it." Please get over yourself I have meet more interesting fry guys then corp big wigs in my lifetime.
One more; sorry; how much is enough? At what point do you have to keep killing yourself for more material things. "I will not stop until this home is covered in granite from floor to ceiling!"
