Currently, my partner and I are looking at developing our idea and we are still trying to determine how to dedicate the time needed to build a beta version while also trying to earn enough money to live. We would like to put forth full effort towards the idea right now, but in order to do that we will need to quit our jobs which poses a serious issue given we still have debt and other bills to pay.
How did you pay for your basic living (food, shelter, etc.) and startup expenses (server space, cell phone, internet, electricity, etc.)?
Did you work two/three jobs? Did you do freelandce work? Did you spend all of your life savings? Did you get funded before writing 1-line of code? Were you on the unemployment teet? Did you do a kickstarter?
I understand we need to bootstrap, but you still need money to live.
