Well Good luck with everything, it's better to get out of something if you are no longer enjoying it, I had a similar problem only it had nothing to do with animals. The problems arised for me at least from being very impulsive and then becoming obsessed with whatever my new hobby of the month was, I would impulsivly buy new things and start new collections of stuff all of the time, I would then scour all availible sources of info for whatever my new whim had become, needless to say this is the fast and easy way to burn yourself out on any hobby no matter how much you think it will make your life " complete", I also realized that the amount of time and MONEy basically wasted could have been put to much better use after the fact, My advice for everyone is to not be impulsive and start new hobbies out of the blue, you will waste time and money and probably get so hyped up that you will burn out twice as fast, I see this happening with Monster fish as well, Please take it easy, take a break if you feel you need to and get your mind onto other "essential life" problems more often, I also suggest taking your time before searching out your new "holy grail" etc . This message is not about you or your post, it is just my rant inspired by yours, I think I can relate to your feelings on this matter, I think I have had my little buying problem under control for quite some time now, as I have limited myself and put priorities on certain things, I hope this makes some sense to people ? Be careful of things! If it isnt fun anymore than it isnt really worth it! Luckily MFK is one of the things I still enjoy! ( in moderation of course!
