With all due respect - what is going to change about your startup in the next few months? Things like retirement account loans from your parents are to get you over a rare and unexpected setback in an otherwise exciting curve. Otherwise, you're just borrowing other people's money who need it (i.e. these are not wealthy individuals taking a risk with money they can afford to lose).
Bahahah. Let me clarify, I've been managing peons like yourself since high school. I've already climbed the six figure ladder. The view wasn't to my liking. See I decided to quit & build products designed for social good, hence why I turned down a CIO role at a bank last week & turned down $125k work-from-home contract at Wells Fargo today. I can make money anytime I return a headhunters voicemail. Maybe that's why my parents are cool with the risk. Go ahead Google me, my resume speaks for itself.
Why would you assume I'm a peon? Or that I haven't climbed the six figure ladder? In fact, you don't know anything about me, why would you react this way?
One of the things you learn as you get a little more maturity is that: a) it never pays to be rude or uncivil to anyone you don't personally know, b) no matter how much of a hot shit you think you are, you will look like a giant douchebag when you try to pull it on other people, c) there's always the possibility that you are wildly wrong.
You actually hit on all three of those points in this particular situation. Good luck with your startup.
