@skinnylatte yep, I'm from working class roots. I got lucky in the stock market during the first tech boom which funded my first throw. Then I got into Y Combinator, which helped with a second (though it was back when Y Combinator invested a laughably small amount of money). After nearly a decade working a regular tech job, maybe I can take another throw...but, now I'm old enough to need good health insurance and a retirement account, so the risk is higher.
