I'm not a 'pure tech guy', but I know enough to do project management and challenge devs of tech choices given a business objective.
I work at a startup for 50% of my normal wage. If the project fail, I simply go back to BigBankInc, work there 1 year or 2, and start again. Easy!
Of course my personal budget and lifestyle are very minimalist, I basically sacrificed my hobbies for my busines project. However I am totally happy with this decision, it improved my mental health a lot. I attribute this kind of 'needs arbitrage' as an outcome of my meditation practice.
Do note however that I do not have a family (yet)...
