What's crazy to me is how much this guy's living expenses appear to be, according to the chart here (https://danielvassallo.com/from-employee-to-bootstrapper/ https://danielvassallo.com/from-employee-to-bootstrapper/)
He is spending $15,000 a month on all of his expenses. That's just crazy to me!
If I was to quit my job right now and just go live in an apartment, my living expenses would be around $2-3K a month. For just one year's worth ($200K) of his spending budget, I could survive and work on my programming projects for literally 5 years.
