It's not actually THAT easy to earn money with your own startup. There is no guarantee for success. And it isn't that cheap, either - you still have the living expenses. Both factors combined can make a hacker accept freelance work from time to time.

Never said it was easy. Believe me, I know. Of course there's no guarantee. That's where the determination comes in. Don't understand how you inferred that I said either.

And yes it is cheap relative to other businesses. Try opening a restaurant with only 2 laptops, some determination, but no money.

I'll rephrase myself: "You don't even need much incremental money". You have living expenses whether you do something or sit on your butt. Better to do something.
