Need Some Advice: Balancing Startup Dreams and Financial Stability

Hey everyone, I’m a software developer with 3.5 years of experience across different tech stacks. Lately, I’ve been thinking about starting something on my own, possibly in fintech or healthcare (primarily India stack). I’m excited to jump into the entrepreneurial world, but I’ve seen friends go through this journey, and I know the income can dry up for a while. My family’s doing fine financially, but I don’t want to put any extra pressure on them. So here’s where I’m stuck: Should I take on part-time/contract work to keep some cash flow going, or should I go all-in on the startup idea and avoid distractions? Would love to hear from anyone who’s been in the same boat. How did you manage it? Any tips or advice are welcome. Let’s chat! Thanks in advance!
