I can certainly appreciate that because there was a time I felt the same way. Also -- and maybe this isn't a big deal for you either -- working hardcore like that for a year straight without getting paid a dime becomes rather stressful, despite the fact that I'm indifferent to wealth in those terms. The longer it goes on, the more pressure builds to get out of the deepening hole.
