Salary is low

Why do we continue to crib about low salary? Is it low? OR it is low in comparison to everybody else?
Can I make my ends meet and save some for my 100 K? Yeah, I can and I don't want to compare my salary with equivalent profiles (it is low actually :) ). Should it affect me? I don't think so.
Two people are never same, some just negotiated better, some passed out from IIT etc.These will be rewarded no matter what.
Ok, let me ask a more pertinent question. Will I leave if I get a 20% raise from the competitor company? No, I don't think so.
I may leave because of following reasons
1. My colleagues think they are too smart and can go back to their stated commitments (verbal , so what) and then write mails like -"hey Gagan, I think there is a disconnect here, What I said was not this(whatever) but blah, blah ....." .
2. How many times I'm disturbed from doing what I like doing. At my place if I'm reading a book I'm not disturbed, but in office on an average I spend 30% of my day in meetings :) . Truly hateful. I'd prefer keeping a day aside for status, skip, and other management meetings, just don't be there everyday.
