In JWZ's case, IIRC, he actually had this exchange with an accountant/advisor.

But it seems to have worked out OK for him.

Andreessen has made a lot more money since then, but JWZ got to build up many aspects of something cool that he cared about, and also occasionally still write some code on the side.
