What if I pick the 200k one and have to live with the fact that I made the world a worse place for everyone else? Being selfish is fine of course, but I don't even earn 50k, 100k would already be ridiculous. I can't imagine the difference between 100k and 200k being that big of an improvement to one's life to justify increasing the suffering of others so much.

Well, I figure out the difference between 100k and 200k in how many years would it take me to get those extra 100k... like, right now, some extra 100k would solve all my financial problems for the foreseeable future, even possibly for life (yeah, I might not have all that much life expectancy left).

Had I been more selfish when I had the chance, I'd be much better off now. The way things are, I'm also suffering while others are... suffering the same, just someone else got more selfish in my place, we won nothing.
