Is Your Startup Salary Helping You Run Your Startup?

The next area I like to talk about is salary. Oftentimes, and this is more of course for companies that have raised funding, just a small incremental five or 10% salary bump can make a huge lifestyle difference. And it's almost always worth it. If your startup salary is allowing you to save money, it's probably not good, right? You shouldn't be sitting here with Google employee level savings running your startup. However, if your startup salary gives you the lifestyle that allows you to be all in on your startup, then it is good.
