Entrepreneur world

After watching Social Network, I am again inspired by how intelligent and daring some people are.
But I am again deterred by people around me who refuse to believe in giving things a try... to describe more appropriately, they are afraid of failing.
I don't know.
Seriously, I am sick of working for people and taking that miserly pay. No satisfaction.
I have so many ideas running wildly in my mind. It will be such a waste not to put them into good use.
Somehow, I feel that it will be very wrong if I do not even try a taste of it.
My cousin owns a chain of fashion shops and a blogshop. My fiance's friend gave up riding, went back to school at age 26 and started his men's fashion blogshop.
I feel like I am bursting with enthusiasm but no support from people around me, esp my fiance.
He keeps telling me that, we cannot afford to fail at our age now. He says it is different from when we were 18.
OF COURSE IT IS DIFFERENT.
At 18, we didn't have enough money. We were only out to have fun. We were immature. I didn't even pass my Dip in IT and all I knew was how to copy C++ projects from my classmates.
Now, we have a job, we have an income, we are more mature, we have an idea of what's going on.
I needed his support.
It sucks to be alone.

Sigh.

I wish I have a supportive fiance who is not 'wrongly' stingy with his money.
'Wrongly' stingy - spending money on depreciating automobile is OK. Spending money on starting a business is not OK. Spending money on unnecessary 5 star hotels in Japan is OK. Spending money on gold is not OK.
DUH.
