It's hard to push through tough problems to achieve a goal that you don't care about achieving. The pressure you grew up in now needs to come from yourself, or more reasonably, the situations you put yourself in. For example: take the life's savings of every family member and friend you have, and go try to make more money with it. The pressure will surely arrive.
An alternative possibility: It may be that your career is not high on your priority list, and you'd rather make some money so that you can fund a passion, travel the world, raise a family, or do something else. If those are the things that you are passionate about, a promotion will not fill the hole where they are missing (for long)
