If you can't afford to sink the money into a startup, you probably should not attempt to do so, right?
The fallacy here lies in assuming that every startup requires capital. Capital greases the wheels, sure. But far too many people think entrepreneurship is just dumping money into an "idea" until it works, and that's actually the worst possible way to go about building a business.
I've been building businesses since I was 10. Very low income family. They certainly weren't funding anything (nor was I in middle-school). But the spirit of entrepreneurship has always been there.

If you have a family and live in the US, you will be saddled with mandatory health insurance payments that are basically untenable without a full-time job.
