yeah I think he is starting to miss the point, since he is starting to think of himself as a small business and not a start up. $100K on the startup scale is nothing

Not nothing, but not sitting on doves. This use of polarization does not add much. It now appears that his startup is now a lifestyle business, a shift worth congratulating and celebrating. Celebrate each success, and when the party is over, dust off your shoulders and get back to work. But you have to make sure to celebrate, for the sake of your own motivation. (Well, you may not need to, but in general, "one" should.)

100%. Work without the moments of victory is what I like to call torture.
$100k of return on investment is more than most start-ups ever see.
If you raise $50m, you don't have $50m - you have negative $50m, because that's $50m of value that you're going to have to create before you've even just returned their base investment to your investors.

Startups are a form of small business; viz. young ones.
Just remember, don't overdo it. $100,000 isn't much in the grand scheme of things, so keep pinching those pennies!
