It’s not the point, the point is risk and opportunity cost. In order to “save up money” like you said means I need to make a lot of sacrifices in the here and now for a future risk. People with money don’t have to sacrifice.
If the business fails, I’ll be out all that money and time that I can never get back. People with money may just have to trade in their Tesla for a Range Rover.
- csallen 7y agoOf course entrepreneurship requires risk-taking and sacrifices. I don't think anyone is surprised or upset by that. In fact, it'd be bizarre if there were any alternative to working full-time that we couldn't say the same about. It's not so different than, say, going back to college. But the fact is that many millions of average people can afford to make these sacrifices and take these risks. Your initial comment heavily implied that this is only something the rich can afford to do.
