I think there are some strategies that may still work.

FWIW, back then my friends sounded a lot what you are saying. Oh it's too hard. Oh you'll be up against big boys.

And I didn't do it b/c I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Uber did it. And, from what I understand, they did it by hiring someone off an offshore programming website. MVP.

And they built the human pyramid. That's what you need to do to retire. Build a human pyramid.

I'm troubled by the things that you say and your tone. I think you should talk with a therapist.

Money is not everything. You don't have to be a millionaire to have children. You don't need to be filthy rich to retire.

But you also have to accept that you would never, ever have built Uber. The growth strategy was executed perfectly, so far. So don't feel bad that you didn't finish the app, it wouldn't have made a difference.

So please move on, have a family, stop thinking about money.
