Poll: Startups, why do them?

I see plenty of people saying they are wage slaves and would like financial freedom. I see no one talking about methods of becoming financially free other than startups.

So, let me rephrase that. I see 0 posts about how to become financially free (excluding startups). That is either because it has been conclusively shown startups are the only viable option, or because people haven't thought about their motivations carefully. I suspect it is the latter.

True. There is definitely a startup focus. But that doesn't stop other stuff from appearing - here's three I saved:

Those are good. But, I still think there is more to be covered, and I'll try to put in my .02 in the coming months.
