Again, I'm (technically) a YC founder, I'm in my 40's, and I don't get that at all from the $125k number. If anything, I feel like I have an easier time with first-year startup expenses at this age than I did in my 20s.

How is that at all responsive to what I wrote?

I said the $125k number could be fine, if the rationale behind it wasn't ageist. You come back and defend the number.

The rationale isn't ageist.
