Identify your biggest optional expenses and reduce them. Spending a lot of eating out? Cook at home. Living in your own by renting a palace? Rent something smaller. But honestly you can only cut back so much before you just make yourself miserable.

If you have the focus and energy, can you start your startup while you are working? There’s nothing wrong with letting your current thing pay for the next thing. It might take a little longer, but a paycheck is nice. You could even use your current thing to pay someone else to build the next thing.
