Equipment is Bose L1. Can't see getting lesser quality equipment and compromising sound. Have some time off to start gigging starting in October. Can afford it, but nervous about the investment. Have made money singing before, but haven't had equipment for a long time; busy with career.

Do you have any gigs scheduled?
How many have you secured/completed in the past say, 3 months.
Renting what you need, until you have a secure itinerary, may be your best, most wise choice. . . also - the market for quality equipment continues to change and grow . . . what you buy today, may be outclassed tomorrow - and for less $$$.

Go to http://www.music123.com
See if you can save yourself a bundle. You may not have to justify.
But if that does not help, think of it this way. If you have the drive and the love and the FAITH, you should be OK. But faith is a big one. Also, make sure that you have other things going on in your life as well. Gigs should not be your entire life. You need a foundation in other areas so that you don't have to worry about guarantees nor depend on return on investments.
But to be honest with you, your question is a little vague. I hope what I have written helps.

Nope, not if this is just a hobbie of sorts.
I'd go for less expense first. Buy used, but still good, equipment. If you get loads of gigs, save up money and then buy the more expensive stuff.
Ebay, pawn shops, used stores, ect. are a start.

I think it depends on your confidence level and motivation to make this enterprise work. If you have a good product that people want and you are willing to work hard and pound on some doors to get noticed, then I'd say it's a worthwhile investment.
There are no guarantees in life. You can't succeed unless you are willing to take some risks.

Yes, if that's your dream to be a musician then you should give it all you got. The return could be wonderful or a complete failure but that's just the way it is.

Maybe you could rent out your equipment when you're not using it to make a little extra cash.

Before you do, ask people to listen to your music and ask them what they think, truly think about it. If you get enough people who think you have talent then yah, buy it.
Besides, if you actually enjoy it, that is your return investment.
