I think this is an increasingly popular viewpoint these days, and is being recognized by lots of startups taking funding and taking some money off the table. Money makes you comfortable, yes, but you need the rest of your environment to be comfortable (relatively) to focus on your business and put your effort into that.
And I, for one, am very glad that founders these days have this option, do to what they love and want to do without having to worry about financial security (well, in some cases anyways).
