This story is VERY familiar and hits home with me. I ran some resturants and some Video Poker Gambling Deli's here in Portland. Aside from being a victim of armed robbery gun to the face I lost a lot of money in one of the ventures.
It was horrible. As the economy went south it seemed to start sucking money like you couldnt believe. A matter of get out now or lose what you already put in dynamic you mentioned.
I got out, but not before some major damage was done.
I still own part of a restaurant and it has done well. But some of my other ventures have really hurt me. If it weren't for my online shit I would be bankrupt as well.
in fact i have about 100k debt still from these bad investments.
I think we need to stick to what we know best.
And thats adult.
