I'm 9 yrs in large pharma as a client side contractor. My title doesn't seem to map to other agencies but involves creative direction and creative ops. ~87k w/5 design reports. Philly burbs. Too low?

You wage is based on these factors: agency size, agency type, location, any awards or lack of, and perhaps your complacency/naiveness—no offense. You need a paradym shift if you want to increase your earnings and perhaps change your life. Think a fire in the belly, a spark of inspiration—and for a small few it will take a near death experience to realize life is short, you can remake yourself and it really doesn't matter what people fuckin' think about you. Ever.

I know I'm answering in a ephemeral way, buy all the answers are within you and posting here to bracket your thoughts is a good first step.

I hope some of that made some sense.
