Hey, if I were in your situation here is what I would do. Due to the financial needs of your family you should take the sure job with Google. You seem to be making plenty so I would suggest scaling back a bit (if over 100K is not enough), but there could be medical issues etc. that I do not know about so I will not judge.

When you accept the position with Google tell them (without going into detail) that you have this financial situation and you will spend time consulting with this other startup. If it doesn't interfere or compete with Google then I think you should be okay and honesty is just the best thing in this situation. Best of luck!

Yeah, I've never been a big spender, and I've scaled back even more, so pretty much all my income goes to my parents.

Thanks for the advice! The open and honest route definitely sounds like the way to go.
