There is also a chance my business will be starting a trucking company in the oilfield or waste disposal.

Is it worth risking bankruptcy and starting over from zero if the business fails.

In any case, a business model that looked viable a few months before suddenly may have stopped working. Without money coming in, a business could be forced to declare bankruptcy, even if the owners had not made a single mistake.

Or should you just take the sure thing and live off your trust fund?

I had a similar situation when I suffered a stroke. I had my forty quarters for social security disability.
As well as job that paid well.
Strokes are slam dunk cases for getting on disability when you can't walk.
I could have just gone on disability and collected a nice disability check and lived in a good apartment.

Instead I worked really hard to walk again. Now I'm retired, living in a nice house, and walk the golf course three times a week!
