To each his own but I'd never sell something that provides basic life needs (shelter) to embark in an adventure.

Maybe you can consider selling the house (it'll take a while) and pouring SOME of that money into a startup, if that's your dream. But always keep X months worth of your expenses in the bank. Where X is probably >24 or more since you likely won't be profitable right away.

Sure, never planned to pour everything into the startup, just some funding to launch and show more traction, then raise a round, or switch to another idea. Makes it possible to iterate more quickly and try more things, but yeah I will need to pay rent and still will have to get a job if my ventures won't be successful, so not much changes?
