I make around $120ish working for a non-profit. I mean it's not SV money but no matter how much money I make I am eventually be lying on my death bed and the only thing I will have to comfort me will be the memories of good I left in this world, so I do it and am grateful I make a very comfortable living doing something positive.
I'll also say that the idea of "Make lots of money now and then I'll give back later and retire early and enjoy my life" is a very risky proposition, you never know what tomorrow might bring a car crash, cancer, who knows?
> And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee - Luke 12:15-20

Not saying this is your job of course, but there are PLENTY of non-profits in this world that are actively making the world worse off. Non-profit == good is just as bad as Profit == bad. For an example, just look at the AIDS Healthcare Foundation in LA. Some of the worst people in the country.
