And for people who live in a cheap area, this can make the YC money last even longer.

I also support these benefits for people who made smarter residence decisions than me.

you’re not supposed to make the money last, you’re supposed to raise a seed round in 3 months or die

Demo Day is like week 12, so you're "supposed" to run your process in weeks 12-14

While I understand the reason behind your comment and it even seems right, I can't stop thinking that we are born rebels.. If we are not supposed to do something, that might just represent an opportunity, doesn't it?
