If you have the competency and can locate a need you can fill, how reasonable is it for someone to start their own SaaS and make a living off of it?

It’s the only route I can see that allows regular people who don’t have millions of starting capital available, to succeed.

SaaS businesses generally lose money for the first few years. If you can afford it, they can be very profitable in the long run.

It seems like the only actual way to create a solid long term business

Brick and mortar will die soon and SaaS isn’t saturated (at the moment) because it requires technical skill to make a product people will like.

My only worry is that I’m just not good enough compared to other programmers/businesses. But I guess I need to get over it if I want to escape wageslaving

If your idea is solid and you can execute it, then it doesn’t matter how good you are compared to other programmers yet. Go for it

SaaS platform allows these businesses to invest more in operating expenditure (OPEX) rather than spending on capital expenditures (CAPEX).

As the third-party service providers host software which you need on a subscription basis, you can use this software whenever required. You can also save the purchase cost for this software with SaaS.
