Thanks a lot for your great comments.

yes, that is definitely an issue. In many cases,I think some people need to worry about their rent, monthly expense, or mortgage (personal burn-rate) to worry about. If you are in your early twenty, your personal burn-rate would be much lower than in your late thirty.

Shares/options are great for motivating the team. They are bonus. But, we all need to at least cover our personal bur-rate to live.

I feel, as a founder, at least I should not let my devoting team members worry about that.
