This is actually very motivational to me. I'm in the same boat. I've spent thousands of dollars in the last five months hiring programmers to build my site. The site is about half-complete, but now I'm running out of money and need to go find a job to sustain my expenditures.

I think your decision to teach yourself those languages is very commendable and I'm sure it feels good to have created your own website by hand.

One thing I've learned is if you plan to launch a website, create a stripped-down version of it first and attempt to monetize it before you run out of money. Then once you start generating revenue, you can begin adding the features you originally planned. Of course, if you have deep pockets, than building the entire site with all functionality first is no problem.

Good luck with your site Kevin.
