People are not praising the comment for showing evidence of modesty and discipline, they are praising it for the attitude it advocates that there are better things in life to care about than merely the number of money points that you have. (Obviously this is only true to a point since being in poverty makes it a lot harder to be happy, but this post was in response to someone arguing that if he had chosen differently than he could have been a billionaire rather than merely a millionaire, which is important context.)
