Not everything is yet cheap enough to run on 10-50k of savings. Take semiconductors for example. Some software technologies are also quite expensive to develop, not everybody is doing web apps, thanks God :-)

I'm 39, married, have a 7yo daughter, but luckily no mortgage. But I have $425 on a savings account to balance off having no mortgage :-) And I'm throat deep in a startup for 2 years already, it's just a beginning.
