Or just don't live in the SF / Bay Area. If you want to have a crazy runway for your startup work towards paying off a 250k (or less) house with solar on it just about anywhere else in the US. The counter-argument to this is that being in SF,NY,etc gives you connections, opportunities, etc. but Id rather just not have to worry about coming up with a sizable chunk just to make sure my family has a roof over their heads.
- 001sky 14y agoGood post too, but this is only a ~21% reduction in the total (2.75 vs 3.5). You're still looking at ~80% of the cost base. The neutral decision point is only @ 25% increase in exit/success neede to make the switch to metro (80 to 100).
- moocow01 14y agoThat is true - there is no math to this one but I do know from observation that if you have a decent roof over your head, running water and electricity, decent transportation, an internet connection and a computer all "paid off"... the rest of life can be lived well and paid for very very cheaply. May be an entrepreneurial way to think about for those that are prone to being a cheap ass like me
