Thinking about money stops me moving up?

Don't play out of you comfort zone, if you are worried you will lose: Don't because you will.

However, when you are ready....When I was just playing 3-6 I would here the dealers commenting all the time at how the 10-20 games were just as loose. This is hogwash, at least in Vegas and especially at the Mirage. I bought in a few times and got stroked every time. Then I got a piece of advice that was hard to believe at first. The guys who play 10-20 for a living are unbeatable so don't try. Instead, buy in for one rack (500) at the 20-40 table. It's a four chip game and just play it like it was an aggressive 4-8 game.

He was right. I have yet to make the big killing yet and the swings can be dizzying, but between that and some 15-30 I am having a good time at the middle level limits.

Of course you have to play tight and the competition is better, but isn't that expected.
