I've always had a scarcity mindset due to my past growing up so I believe that is why I think $600 is a lot of money. I've always worked for others (unpaid internships, uni work, etc) and never did anything really entrepreneurial. Not out of lack of skills but fear and thoughts of having a job is more safe than making the money. I'm asking folks at HN because everyone here is a lot more considerably wiser than I am. I've never been put in this position and my parents being laid off is something I nor they could've ever seen coming.

Thank you for your response, means a lot

I completely get that! I grew up in a large low income family, so I completely get that mindset of having a job above all else.

What would your plans be if you weren't to strike out on this business? Another option is to always moonlight your startup while working somewhere else. That gives you a bit more of a cushion if your business idea doesn't turn out.

It may seem like everyone is wiser than you, but that isn't true! Often times you will have a better understanding than you think :)
