Someone (who was it? PG or DHH or someone) referred to this 'initial money' as 'fuck you money', i.e. enough to provide for your family and give you the freedom to then work on what you want.

Money is important, when you don't have 'enough' you typically have to work on fulfilling other people's dreams and you're not truly free.

But this is just one man's opinion, and that's all it is. If you get pleasure from other things, then kudos to you! Not everybody can be mega rich, and if you're content doing what you're doing without millions I think you're doing swell as it is.
