I'm 29, have no job, and have started five companies, all of which have failed.

So, if it helps at all, when you feel the pangs of regret at not starting a company, you can think, "Hey! I'm doing OK. I mean, I'm doing better than that one smart guy on HN (everyone on HN is smart)."

Grass is greener, etc.

Why did you start your 5th company with all that experience with failure? Did you have something that you thought was special?

If you got fired from four jobs in a row, would you give up working?

If you got fired from four jobs in a row, it's probably because you already gave up working five jobs back.

5 failed companies is not an especially high number, in SV or the broader entrepreneur community.
