I'm not smart enough to tell you what to do with your money, but I believe the hard path forges you, and regret is a heavier suffering than struggle. Ask which choice you would respect at the end of your life. Keep enough to survive, then take the risk with humility, and let the work itself be an act of love.

Approach everyone with empathy and love. You would rather be criticized for being too kind than protect yourself with cynicism, you believe listening to a person's whole story, even a monster's, is how you understand the human condition.
