Do you really have a significant idea or just frustrated with the monotony in the current job? Startups have a high failure rate. You will also have issues attracting funding in the current economy. Even is your wife didn’t know hiding this fact from her isn’t healthy for a good relationship. If you do one just make sure you’ve got enough financial independence and most importantly an idea that folks think is significant. Are people willing to pay for what you plan to develop? How much time will that take away from family? Can you get funding through an accelerator? What sort of a financial hit are you going to take? Is your family onboard with it? If your wife has a well paying job and is secure in her work she may be on onboard with limping on a single salary until you hit pmf (or get to a point where you understand there isn’t one). In the end it’s about financial independence and time your family demands from you.
