Why do you feel entitled to start a startup?

Everything you mentioned aside from your medical expenses is a choice. If you choose to prioritize things that prevent you from starting a startup, then you are choosing not to start a startup.

I don't feel entitled. I understood the nature of the discussion as to what barriers there could be.

And in lots of America, not having a car is not a choice. And, supporting my family is also not a choice.

I could see the grad school stuff as a choice. I also see it as a safe guard against automating away my job because I obtain a higher skill set.
