<prompt> Human: This may be a little long. But to receive good advice it probably should be.I am a freelance videographer. For the past 6 months I have been subcontracted out by my production company to this other company. However, the person I was working for constantly degraded me and made me feel like shit. Telling me I didnt know what I was doing, and that I didnt understand what he wanted. A couple days ago, I snapped, told him I was fucking done with this and quit. I had previously sent him an email saying if he didnt stop degrading me I was going to quit. Problem is, I was making real good money. Luckily I have some saved. So heres my money situation now:Savings: 3000Money saved for taxes : 3000Money still to come from work by January: 8000Current Housing Lease is up Feb. Have to move into a new place in Feb.Current Rent: 230 a month for Dec and January.New Rent: deposit firsts month 600Utilities: about 100 a monthInsurance : 120 monthStudent Loans: 240 month.Credit card : 20 monthSo right now, I have no source of income. What I need advice about is whether I should drop around 3000 on my own video equipmentthis is what the savings was for initially and try to start my own production house. Or hold onto that money and try to find another job somewhere else with another production company. The end goal has always been to get my own equipment and start doing my own stuff.Any advice?EDIT: Thanks for the advice everyone. The consensus is I should use my money to live off of and try to find other work ASAP. So, that is what I will do. You have all been very helpful.  <response>: You do not have enough capital to safely start a business and feed yourself at this point.
