Exactly. I now make more than double of the highest-grossing year from my 20's.
This article is just fear mongering. If you belong to the group of people reading comments on HN, you are able to drop in and out of the work force as you wish and do whatever you want with your life. If you want to maximize income in your 20's and reap the rewards of early investment, fine. If you want to travel the world now and jump in the game later, that's also fine.

- aragot 12y agoCorrect, we all are in startups with 90% chance of failure ;) More seriously, I laugh when former colleagues think of me as successful. It's correct that I've launched a successful product, but money is so random that I rather consider myself as "having fun and learning to launch a product" than "being successful".
