And that's my point regarding financial freedom. People want to form a startup for freedom to work on cool stuff more often. But, why go that circuitous route instead of pursuing financial freedom directly? The startup route only makes sense if it is the most effective way of achieving financial freedom. But, no one here is discussing the most effective way. People just assume startups and go from there.
- arockwell 18y agoWhat's a more efficient way to financial freedom than creating and selling a startup? Probably the only other realistic alternative was becoming an investment banker, but I don't think anyone is going to argue for that one right now.
- yters 18y agoYeah, startups are known to not be a very dependable route to financial freedom. On the other hand, it doesn't cost too much to live overseas or in certain places in the US. Most here are programmers or other creative types, and it does not cost much to pursue such interests either. It comes down to standard of living and relationships.
