In France we have unemployment benefits at 80% for 2 years. Startup creators can convert them into a lumpsum of 50% the total (name: ACCRE). I'm severely against this scheme, but my first advice to entrepreneurs is to take the ACCRE when they satisfy the conditions, because there's no way to be competitive without it. About friends/family: I've noticed that people living payday-to-payday have a harder time accepting presents from richer people. But it's ok. We spend money on various optional things like sponsoring a child abroad or holidays, so if we share our money with you, it's really because it's better spent on human relationships than on holidays. I'm aware that causes the recipient to acknowledge that they're in a difficult situation, and feeling guilty of not being able to provide enough is a common reaction (although it's often far from the correct reality), and that's why it has to become more commonplace to casually accept a big present when there's an earning gap. Especially when the person who offer makes it clear that they don't mind.
