"Once you have kids, you can't afford to take that kind of chance with your life because you're also responsible for their lives."

I agree to a point, but having kids does not relegate you to life in a cubicle, slowing building your 401 K, and complaining about not having enough Paid Time Off.

I think if you have a burning passion to start something and there is a significant potential pay-off down the road you are doing your family a dis-service by not pursuing an opportunity to make your lives better.

Nothing worth doing is easy.



Really well said. My wife and three year old son are on the team. We're enjoying the hell out of this because we're doing it together.
