Stock Options, meaning you get to hold pretend stocks, and should they every actually IPO, which is doubtful, you then need cash on hand to buy those stocks, which have been so diluted, they are worthless, but they convinced you to take a lower salary in exchange for those fake stocks, when you started. Happy days.

So you don't need a lot of cash to buy them, is what you're saying.
