Twenty-eight, working for a startup in SV, and building a product in my spare time. Debt-free, in spite of a row of some bad fiscal/personal disasters and paying for school. Putting about 60% of my take-home in the bank at the moment.
Looking at trying an experiment at the end of the year and 'going homeless' for three months after my lease expires. The worst case is I find out that it's hard and I don't like it, but it'll cut my monthly expenses down to nothing for a few months. Will look at buying a home in a few years, as I plan to turn into a traveling hacker for a year or two once my full-time gig is up.
I have zero sympathy for liberal arts majors who spent years in school, sans job, and now can't find a employment because they lack both marketable skills and the gumption to start a company.
