<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

I have been unemployed for about 2 months and I am very interested in working full-time. But I don't want to settle and work a job I was working at while and before I was in college. I am a graphic designer, who had to drop out with 8 classes left because I had no more funding to finish. So all I lack is a paper saying I know my stuff... But this is beside the point.

I am thinking I'm going to have to sell off my comic books, video games, movies, and other stuff I have collected over the years. The problem I am running into is, what to do with the money I have after this. I'm not sure how much I will get for all of it. But if everything sells, for $1 each. I should be able to get more than $1k.

My wife is bringing home the money now to pay rent and I have a side thing that pays all the bills. But we want me doing something I love or something that pays me more so we aren't living paycheck to paycheck with small savings.
<bot>: What should I invest my money in or do with my money to make it so I can continue looking for a job for a while longer?
