well you don't have to earn millions every year to not be considered poor 
I used to work in a commercial radio station and received a pretty good salary there, but if I ever got an invite to the hip independent radio station where some of the guys I admired worked, where I'd get some kind of creative freedom and I could proudly say that I work there, I'd do it for 2-3 times less money and drop my standard of living without thinking twice. It's way harder when the talk is about millions, as I imagine more money makes you greedier, but the principle is the same, not everyone put's money or material things in the first place.

Could potentially be a good signing for them. There is a risk he might fail though, he's always seemed to me like the big fish in a small pond kind of player, someone whose pretty decent at most aspects of a midfielder's game but is not particularly special in anything. He was kind of like a jack of all trades in Toulouse, he was their captain, he filled in as CB for a long time, he scored goals, he defended and did pretty much everything. At a team like Tottenham, he'll have a defined role, with less freedom and he'll need to perform his role at a higher level. So despite the fact that he was one of the best midfielders in the Ligue for the past 3-4 years, he has a lot of adapting to do and therein lies the risk.
Also, I don't see how or where he will start, as things stand right now, a 5 man Tottenham midfield will probably consist of Dembele and Paulinho as CM's, Lennon and Chadli on the wings and Bale behind the striker.

For a footballer, they have around 7 years where they can maximize their income, normally between 24-31 (sometimes there are special cases), so thinking from it economically and for the future, in those 7 years, my goal would be to get as much as I possibly could, if I could earn 12M a year and live in Monaco it would be fantastic, but not everyone is as lucky as Falcao!
Like I said previously, if the difference is something 'small' of like 2-3 million, I would go for a more favourable location, like Barcelona ahead of Moscow (due to weather, lifestyle etc), but if it were for a large amount (5M +) I'd go where the money is (at least for a short while).
Naturally this is all hypothetical, but if i were to earn large amounts of money in my mid 20s, I would definately be 'ok' with earning a few millions less in the future and move somewhere I want to be.
like i said above, a footballer has a limited window where he can earn the big money, so 3 years in Russia (like what Anzhi did with Eto'o) and i'll be sorted for life, I would not need to work once I retire from football, and could do what the fuck I want without having to think about the money factor.
