That said, $100k is not a salary and if someone needs $100k+ salary to do a startup for a year, startups are the wrong choice.
- scarface74 6y agoYes. That’s fine if you’re not adulting - with kids, bills, the need to pay health insurance etc. If I were under 26, no responsibilities and could get on my parents insurance sure.
- billme 6y agoThis has nothing to do with age, being an adult, being in US, etc.; sure, you have a set of assumptions, but they apply at best to you, not the world.
