Ask HN: How much have you spent on your 'bootstrapped' startup

Startup community: I am wondering how much of a budget is considered 'bootstrapped'? And, I am curious to know how much personal capital (or debt) it took to generate something profitable. Of course I understand that the product/service can make all the difference in the world but your experience and numbers will still offer a valuable perspective.

I know there are no guarantees and that past performance is not indicative of future results! I also realize that everyone's risk tolerance starting financial situation is different. Just laying that out so that the comments can focus on individual experiences.

Thanks!
