Psychological observation: Saving first 200K felt more exciting than saving 1.2M

(56M) About a decade ago in 2014 I got really serious in saving for retirement. I increased my contributions to my S and p index fund, automatic contributions to dollar cost average paid off debt and become much more fiscally responsible. At the end of 2016 I had a little over 200K and I was ecstatic. I felt like I was on my way and working hard. At the end of 2024, eight years later I crossed over 1.2M in retirement, yet I really don't feel anything at all. It's almost like it is not real or funny money. I just keep plugging away at my middle management job, take my wife out to dinner occasionally and live a pretty simple life. Does anyone else feel this way or notice that there is less of a thrill as the money increases, or it just me.
