I mean no disrespect, but this is incredibly depressing, and the result is a few million dollars?

I didn't see any mention about doing what you are passionate about. Maybe it was implied by the result: save 2 million dollars, startup with no prior experience of doing so, instant success because $$$, then die of cancer because you ate nothing but ramen for 15 years?

You do you, but there is so much more to life - so many mistakes to be made - than living like Gladiator so you can be "retired", whatever that's supposed to mean.

If you want to make software, do it because you love it. If you want to make coffee, do it because you love it.

Love your family. Love your neighbor. Love yourself. You may die poor (maybe not!), but you will surely die very happy.
