I have had periods where money has played a significant role in my laziness.

And when you burn through it all, you have no choice but to get back on the horse. This taught me not to live that way ever again, as starting up again can sometimes be extremely challenging and time consuming.

Money as a motivator sucks. It is much more easier to earn money as a side effect of being really good at what you do.

You're both talking about money but I don't think you're on the same page as your parent post. They're just saying that it's easy to fall into the trap of being comfortable, whereas when you have to "hustle" (sorry) then you build up a lot of momentum.
