One thing that hasn't been addressed here is the likelihood of creating a company that that will be acquired for enough money that you no longer have to work vs the likelihood that you can create a business that lets you live comfortably. My guess is that most businesses that make enough money for you to live off of comfortably would have an acquisition value that is high enough that you wouldn't have to work anymore.
