As I journey deeper into the world of building Deleg8, my commitment has never been stronger. I'm all in—100%, no looking back. But here's the thing about startups: they're kind of like dating in your 30s. Exciting, a bit scary, and you're not as financially reckless as you were in your 20s.

I've got some savings tucked away, but every day feels like a game show where the prize money slowly dwindles. The pressure? Oh, it's like a pot of coffee brewing at 4 AM—unnecessary and intense. These savings are supposed to last me a few months, but time and money have this funny habit of running out faster than expected.

So, here comes the million-dollar question (NOT how much is in my retirement fund): Should I tap into my retirement savings to pay myself while I build Deleg8? It's like deciding whether to cut the red wire or the blue wire, except it's my financial future at stake, not an action movie climax.

I'm torn. On one hand, investing in myself and Deleg8 feels like the ultimate commitment. On the other, I can't help but picture future me, sipping cheap tea, reminiscing about the good old days when I had a retirement fund.

What's your take? Have you faced this crossroads? Did you take the leap, or did you find another way to keep the lights on (and the coffee brewing) without raiding the retirement piggy bank?

Let's talk about the risky business moves, the sleepless nights, and the decisions that keep us up at 2 AM. Because at the end of the day, we're all in this crazy startup world together—figuring it out one daring move at a time.
