[QUOTE="Hacker News, post: 75445, member: 365"] I want to start my own company, but Im not sure how to pay my bills while looking for product-market-fit. I have a well paying job now, and I am pretty sure I would throw my marriage into chaos if I told my wife I was leaving my job to pursue a start up. Shes not stupid, she knows start ups have like a 90% failure rate. So the question is: how do I continue my current standard of living for my family while working on a startup? Are all startups at my age generally side hustles that become profitable enough to quit my day job? Does anyone here have experience with this?
