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
