This seems to be the most practical solution right now, however i'm worried about the time crunch that working at a startup will have on me.

  If you don't mind living over seas, you can have a pretty high standard of living for much less. Based on my off the cuff calculations, I think a person with a decent programming job could save enough in 5 or so years (with frugal living) that they could live overseas off the interest. If true, this is much more guaranteed path to financial freedom than a startup. Just an option to consider. This is what I've found so far along with the mentioned calculations: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=122341 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=122341

    That's a pretty interesting notion, actually. I'd never do it, but it's nice to have the option.

    I like having a job, though, cuz then I don't feel guilty about not spending all my time saving the world. I'd love to, but I have work to do!

      Lame ;p I prefer spending my time figuring out how to save the world instead of working.

        Ssssh, stop chipping away at my cold heart! That's pretty insensitive of you...

          If I'm insensitive enough, will you try to save the world from people like me?
