Does it have to be a startup right away? Can't you take a timeout and use the time to build something and see if there's traction? Maybe turn it into a passive income source at first? Or a lifestyle job?

If it doesn't work out, you can get another job, save up some more and try another idea?

What's the difference? Isn't that effectively what a startup is? I'm guessing your definition of startup is raising money and hyper growth?
