3) Absolutely. I'm not worried about getting screwed in this instance, as we're good friends and have built up a lot of trust over the years. Then again, people usually don't expect to be screwed over.
4) More or less. I had a decent salary up until a couple of months ago. It was enough to keep me barely afloat while going out and actually having a social life.
5) Couldn't agree more. Quitting is not on my menu, the YCombinator interview fell into our laps so I ran with it. I would never have sought funding at that stage if it were up to me. I could see doing it now though.
6) This is great advice that's hard to follow. I'm trying to get better at this all the time.
7) My landlord is a super nice lady and I will definitely not be fucking her over.
8) Yep. This is my only option at this point. I am going to get a Web dev job and get my shit back in order.
