A comment on Why I'm frustrated that I wasn't accepted into Y Combinator.. Parent comment
If you're a software engineer, even in alabama, you can easily make $60k a year.
And anyway, it doesn't matter-- if your income is that low, cost of living should be low as well.
Alabama is probably a great place to start a startup-- just you should start living on half your income.
Do that for a year and save the balance and you have a years living expenses to live off while you try and get your business going.
