I'm not exactly late in my career but having been doing this for ~7 years I'm not clear how people are able to accumulate the capital to start a business and have enough cash to live on until it makes money. It's something that seems like a great experience, and I can see myself wishing I had been able to, but I just don't know how I'd afford it.
Even assuming you have virtually no business expenses other than cloud hosting, are you just supposed to watch your emergency fund disappear?
