Ask HN: How do you start a startup in your 30s when you have wife/kids/mortgage?
I want to start my own company, but Im not sure how to pay my bills while looking for product-market-fit.
I have a well paying job now, and I am pretty sure I would throw my marriage into chaos if I told my wife I was leaving my job to pursue a start up. Shes not stupid, she knows start ups have like a 90% failure rate.
So the question is: how do I continue my current standard of living for my family while working on a startup?
Are all startups at my age generally side hustles that become profitable enough to quit my day job?

Does anyone here have experience with this?
