I'm 100% with you. This is the #1 reason I have not yet worked at a startup. Unlike some people who are already loaded, I have to pay rent. If you pay me in lottery tickets, and I lose, I'm homeless. Whenever a startup sends me a job offer, which is quite often, I tell them I accept cash only. I'm still waiting for one to say OK. Maybe you can convince some naive college kids to work for peanuts, but good luck with that.
