I'm just about to hit 30 and taking more entrepreneurial risks. I feel like the knowledge I've gained in the business world is immensely helpful.

In general, it seems that the older you get, the opportunity costs for risks increase. Not just monetarily speaking but also other things you may have to cut back on - family, friends, etc.

i'm in the same boat and struggling with the same issues. on the verge of 30 it becomes more of a game of weighing the pros and cons.

does this startup idea have enough potential that it's worth leaving my full time job? and if so, how am i going to keep paying these damn student loans? etc.

True but think about when you turn 40, how are you going to feel about the work you did during the most productive years of your life ?

Your remember that 30th birthday. I bet turning 40 is going to be much much worse.
