This is very good advice. I think they only reason to do a startup is because you've realized you don't really have any other choice. If you can be happy working a regular job, then when all the risk/reward is weighed, you're probably better off just doing that. Manage your money well and you'll end up with a much better quality of life than 99% of entrepreneurs. That being said, it may not be possible for you. Just like many of the people here on HN, you may be cursed with the knowledge that only by working for yourself will you be happy.
