While it's not available to many of us (and especially those outside of US) it doesn't take that much money to just tinker with whatever you want. Just have to cut time wasted on news and politics, socialising and literally anything outsidie of being hacker or entrepreneur.

Most people just would never take that risk and will stick to their well-paying job.




Was it pg who said it? Not sure but basically - middle class get about one shot. Upper class can keep shooting their whole lives. Of course lower class usually doesn’t get one.

I took my one shot! Any more is too risky for quite a while.
