VC money is essential for certain, specific sorts of businesses. If what you have in mind is not one of that type, then I argue VC money is something you want to actively avoid. That's not to say you should avoid investors -- there is a dizzying array of different kinds of investors outside of venture capital.

In my experience, such a time will never arrive. You need to consciously prioritize starting a business (although that doesn't mean you can't hold down a day job at the very start).
How does the old saying go? The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.
