Ask HN: How do you digest fact that you are not successful by 40

Curious to see what others think. There is west village in nyc or rich neighborhoods in SF, LA where people live and spend as if they are from another planet. Houses, vacation homes, yearly trips, spa, jetski, ski trips and more. Then, there are some people who barely get by or get by with barely anything left after rent, healthcare, and household expenses. America has entered this era of distribution of wealth that is really sad. I don’t subscribe to socialism or communism but it’s hard to see that some people are just never going to make it. As someone who graduated in 2007 and financial crisis struck, it’s been disaster after disaster. I know some lucky people made it in tech and now have $2m or more at their name. But, there are people like me who don’t have much to show for. Just a sad reality.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Should I quit my startup journey for now?

Ask HN: Should I quit my startup journey for now? 2 by lkuebler | 4 comments on Hacker News. One year ago I started as an intern at a start-up. Things evolved and we are now a team of two-founders and one developer (me). We are running out of money and so my bosses chose to not pay themselves and myself a salary. What can I do to get reimbursed for my work at the startup? Currently there's not much work for me but if the other two guys manage to close the ongoing funding round in approx. 3 months they want to hire me full-time. Can I demand equity from them in advance to assure my piece of the cake once the money has arrived? The answer they gave me to this was they would give me the shares once the round is closed. But this is only good for them, not for me. Right? I am very new to start-up things and really don't know how to act. Feel free to share your experiences with getting shares as one of the first employees in a start-up.
