&gt; Being afraid to start a business because you’ll end up in financial hardship is like being afraid to ask a girl out because you’re scared of getting a divorce. 

Yep.

Now me, I don't start my own business because I know everything involved, and I don't want that headache. I like doing my job, getting my direct deposit every two weeks, and having all the taxes, insurance, retirement, and all the backend logistics handled for me.

But I also don't bitch that the company is making profit off my labor. We are *BOTH* profiting. I am making more value working for them, than I could expect to on my own. Sure I could start my own IT consulting firm and make more money, but it would also mean doing a lot more work on back-office shit, and have a lot more risk. It's a trade off I am not willing to make.

&gt;and have a lot more risk. 

This is key. If my company has a bad quarter, I still get paid. Shareholders take a bath.
