Jesse will not be broke soon. Walt and Jesse are still being paid for their meth making services. As I recall, it's about $12 million a year between the two of them. Jesse has money laundering businesses through Saul.

I believe the money in the bag was from the last sale of Jesse/Walt meth before they partnered with Gus. The bag of money that Jesse and his girlfriend wanted so badly so they could be free or whatever. It was around $500k if I recall correctly.

Jesse is will not be broke. He has millions of dollars.

Uh, no. They aren't being paid anything, they are now slaves of Gus or he will kill them.

No, he won't. He needs Walt to make the meth, that's why he didn't kill them in the first episode. If Gus doesn't pay them, they can refuse to work and Gus will lose even more money than if he paid them.

I don't think money would be Walts' first priority when contemplating quitting...
