Amen to this. I'm also a young entrepreneur who's earning very little when I could be earning a very good programming salary (50-60k) at a job I had lined up after college...In a culture that glorifies money and "more more more", it's more rewarding (and harder) to go for more/better experience than a really nice car.

And hey, that's what credit cards are for, right? It's all about finding the 0% introductory APR for 6 months with no balance transfer fees and then moving your balance from card to card as needed :-)

And speaking of employees--they are expensive and hard to manage. Harder than you'd think. But I wouldn't have learned that at my age, not at a cushy programming job.
