You’re inadvertently making the parents posters point. The reason why most founders stem from a demographic that allows them to either find a solid paying job or fall back on (parents, spouses, ...) financial support is that he current way of doing startups selects harshly for exactly this. No one else can afford that risk and gamble. If you’re single, your startup fails and you have to move in to your parents place for a while, that’s tough luck. If you have a family, a few kids and maybe parents that rely on your financial support, a single dry month without income may spell disaster.
