Because you know that you go full throttle for 3-5 years and then you have the possibility to retire.
I would sacrifice 5 years of my life in order to get financial freedom for the rest of it.

- tvmalsv 10y agoI guess the alternative is to learn very little, have fun, run up huge debt, because why not, you're going to get run over by a bus tomorrow. But, then you don't. Well, crap.
- codr4life 10y agoGo ahead and postpone life then, no one will stop you; life still doesn't give a shit about plans. You should try being close do dying a couple of times, that will align your perspective with reality in no time at all.
- tudorconstantin 10y agoStatistically speaking the odds are that in 5 years I'll be 5 years older, not hit by a bus, nor killed by some disease. I'd love to be 5 years wiser and richer also :)
- toomuchtodo 10y agoWould you sacrifice five years of your life if the odds of a financially independent exit was less than 10%? Less than 10% of startups succeed, and that's before breaking that cohort into startups that barely succeed and ones that'll leave you independently wealthy.
- Buge 10y agoIf you're being paid $200/hr it doesn't depend on the exit.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoDon't know many startup employees making $200/hr
