I am 25, eating ramen, living with lots of people in a cramped house, and seeing my money get burned paying debts.

I have a startup because lack of choice (here in Brazil programmers are very badly paid, and I don't figured yet how to move... most countries has some weird requeriment or another that I cannot meet).

It is not romantic at all, it suck.

5 years ago my dream was have a 9-5 job, a house, a wife and kids. This proved kinda impossible here...

Now my dream is become absurdly rich and own a farm... And I have that dream because since I was forced into a risky situation, I plan in failing, or having great rewards... I had no choice in having a risk, but since I have lots of risk, at least I can choose to really go for it...

But I am sure, that if I could have a 9-5 job, house and wife, I would be perfectly happy.
