Most founders never draw a salary. Funding yourself amounts to spending money, not earning it. Starting a business with no investment or cash flow is a huge risk at odds with the security of providing for a family. Getting a mortgage on a house likely requires a stable salary.

Getting some seed funding would likely radically improve your lifestyle without curtailing your upside much. At least make sure your partner knows you’re making this choice. Good luck!
