You managed to echo my sentiment quite precisely. It's like, while you are young, you had better figure out a hit startup that lets you exit with a large pile of cash. Only then can you have the buffer to take it easy and enjoy your time with family. If you fail to make said exit, then you end up tied to your job, and will have to watch the world and your life go past you. This thinking has filled me with an urgency and i really feel the need to get the hell out of academia, and go on a "hunting spree" to make money...
