Wow, talk about an article that is completely devoid of value. That stands out as soon as you see "cult of the entrepreneur" in the first sentence.
OK, now we know that most entrepreneurs come from "families with money" (according to their definitions anyway). Great, so what do I do with that particular bit of information? I'm most definitely not from a family of means, so do I just quit now? Have I been deluding myself? If so, so what, it's my right to spend my time and money however I want anyway.
It's not like I can go back and change my parents.
If you're not from a family of means, do things differently. For example: work a day job making a reasonable salary and work on the startup on the side, supporting yourself with your salary until you have a product built. Not every entrepreneurial scenario involves gambling with homelessness.
Whatever. I smell bullshit with this article anyway. This is just propaganda from the sect of people who hate individualism, hate capitalism, and will take any opportunity to bash the idea that anyone can advance in life through hard work, grit, determination and moxie.
