Absolutely and I am thankful for the chance my parents give me. However I wouldn't think of returning until I have truly exhausted every single opportunity in getting together cash to stay afloat.

Not a chance, I recognize my gifts and it motivates me even more.

That's all well and good. But the point is, your downside risk is still limited, compared to someone who will be on the streets if they fail.

I always knew I could move back home if my work failed. This really helped me take risks in the early stages. I was pretty sure they'd pay off, but I knew I would have the opportunity to recover if things went sour.
