30 grand is not that difficult to come for a middle class person [1]. Someone working a normal job with some sacrifices could save those money in like 5 years. Heck, people spend as much on cars. In fact, if you're so certain you will "make it big", take a 30 grand loan.

Still, few if any of them create a 50 million dollar business (or even an 1 million dollar one).

So there's that.

You think the only thing between you and "making it big" is 30 grand?

(1) (well, what americans call middle class, not what the British bizarrely call middle class, which means upper class very rich just no royalty)

Yeah, not certain why this article is relevant enough for the HN front page.
