&gt; I spend my time working on my company on evenings, week-ends.<p>I could do that. It sounds interesting enough. I do read a lot about startups and business and tech. The friends I have dinner with seem amazed at how much I know about this stuff, despite putting far less time into it.<p>But when I get right down to it, spending all my time trying to squeeze blood from a stone doesn&#x27;t really hold all that much appeal to me. Now, if I had capital at my disposal, then I could do all that instead of having a job. But a startup would be too much work, so I&#x27;d need my own capital. That&#x27;s why I&#x27;d need to be upper class first.
