I'm your age :)

I started my current one in college. Since high school I had every intention of making a living starting my own business, so that was the plan all along. I've been on hacker news since my early teens (different accounts) and I've been doing projects about just as long.

I'm working full time on my business. If the times were different, I'd look for a part time job serving coffee or something. I went back to living with my parents after college (probably a mistake), so I don't worry about supporting myself.

By now, I am pretty good at recognizing what a good idea is, and getting from idea to shipping something. I'm working on my marketing skills and being patient.

You say you're struggling to start, I imagine there is something specific that makes you feel that way:

Do you have an idea yet? How far have you gotten? Are you afraid to quit your job? Are you having difficulties putting in the time and effort?
