[QUOTE="afstanton, post: 1883992, member: 10492"] Sounds like it's pretty clear what you've decided to do - you're going to give up on it. Sorry to hear it. I screwed up pretty badly, myself, a few years ago. Made a very similar mistake and still owe a chunk o' change on it. Do yourself a big favor and don't be bitter about it. You tried, it didn't pan out, and you learned a hell of a lot about what to do and what not to do. Twelve grand is not a bad price to pay for that kind of an education. As far as time wasted...who's to say something else wouldn't have happened to put you that far in the hole? You don't know. Nobody does. If you're going to give up on that project, dust yourself off and move on. When the market moves back up and you have a stable income, try again if you think you can stomach it. The next time around, start with the end goal of getting it into their hands. Use everything you've learned. If you can't stomach the possibility of this happening again, put it behind you, grin, and say "I'd hate myself if I hadn't at least tried." It's what *I* do. [/QUOTE]
