(Solving the money problem) != (solving all my problems)

Successful startups generally solve the money problem. That's all, nothing else.

Solving the money problem doesn't solve loneliness. It doesn't keep you warm at night or fix problems with a messed up family situation, etc...

But, once you've solved the money problem, you tend to have more time on your hands to focus on other problems.

Solving the money problem will keep you warm at night, assuming you pay your heating bill...

(And if you've got a messed-up family situation, money can put some serious (geographical) distance between you. :)

Maybe he was referring to a bed warmer (wink wink).
