First off, these numbers don't look correct. Are you sure this is correct?
Next, the way you describe your financial situation, I would equate it to someone like myself, in the fact that your BR in basically non-replenishible. In these situations, players usually play to an almost ridiculously low RoR, usually less than 1%. We simply can not afford to lose or even take a really significant hit to our bankroll, that would put us out of business. Even though, you don't play for a living, because of the non-replenishible nature of your BR, You need to start thinking the same way. Protect the nest egg (bankroll) at all costs. Again, this means obscenely conservative wagering compared to BR.
And frankly, I would suggest that your bankroll is NOT currently $23K. If you agonized about dropping 5K, reducing your BR from 28k to 23k, there is no way in hell, you are going to allow yourself to lose it all down to zero. You will have a cutoff point, where you are no longer willing to risk anything. Maybe it will be 10K, maybe 12k, maybe 15k. I don't know and at this point, you probably don't know either. But running sims, based on a now 23k bankroll, is really unrealistic. I don't think you are being honest with yourself.
And finally, you made a comment, something along the lines of wanting to play higher levels for the better comps. Don't do that! As a rule, unless the comps are something really special, I would strongly recommend against doing that. You will play longer. You will play worse conditions. You will lose much more than you should have attempting to generate comps and bonuses that are worth a tiny fraction of what you lose. Think of comps and bonuses as just that....a bonus. You play your game, the best games you can play, best conditions and levels you can play to give yourself the best chance. Any comps/bonus are just extra.
So If I were you, I would re-vamp your game and plan of attack, beginning with your bankroll and what you are honestly willing to put at stake and then, I would tone down your level of play, to play limits that are very conservative for your bankroll, making protecting your bankroll, top priority.
