I got a big amount of money and I am torn between using it to chase my music dream or keeping it as a safety net

I have been making music for a few years now. It started as something casual but over time it turned into something I genuinely care about. I have put in a lot of hours, learned the craft and built up a small following. People around me seem to believe in what I am doing and honestly I do too. Recently I came into a large sum of money. It is not enough to retire or anything like that but it is a good amount. Enough to fund a serious run at music. I could invest in better equipment, promotion and maybe even take some time off work and fully focus on creating and putting myself out there. The thing is I have also worked hard to build a bit of financial stability. Having that safety net feels good especially in today’s world. And using this money would mean stepping into uncertainty. Part of me feels like now is the perfect time. I do not have kids or major responsibilities. I have energy and passion and this opportunity might not come again. But another part of me worries. What if I spend it all chasing something that never really takes off and what if I end up broke and discouraged but then again what if I never try and what if I just stay comfortable and always wonder what could have happened if I had gone all in

I am curious if anyone else has been in a situation like this. Where you had to choose between security and chasing something creative. Did you take the risk or play it safe and do you regret the choice you made?
