Go for what? That is not something you can answer by up and quitting. When you are grateful you can stop to smell the roses and find meaning in what you do.

This is not meant to be hippie talk. What it really is risk management. When you perceive that you are losing you psychologically want to increase risk to make up for it, leading you to make poor bets. It applies in trading (gambling), where I learned it, but happens in life as well.

Someone in his position needs to consider whether quitting is legitimately a better bet rather than letting emotions dictate.

I'm "going for it", and I can assure you that a life of continual debt isn't happiness either.
