If you have cash in reserve until the end of the year, why not get serious and launch your own product based startup?

With some emphasis in marketing, you could quite easily bank $5k-10k from the product and be in a good position to show off your project (that is already making moola!) for winter YC.

Because I went broke at a previous startup and am paranoid about having cash in the bank.

Don't listen to the commenters saying "just go for it" -- having cash in the bank is important (if you aren't wasting time earning trying to get the work to do so).

As long as you stay busy, building a buffer is a good thing.

You're missing out on a great opportunity because of fear. If you are a good programmer, you can get work instantly (call some friends, tell them you are broke and need work).

What are you going to regret more in the future, winging it and seeing if you had what it took to create a startup even if it goes down in flames or being super careful but not being able to see if you had what it took to make something awesome?
