Should I give up?
NoBSWebDesign: Two things strike me about this question.1. The fact that you're asking others if you should give up lead me to advise that you probably should. In my own business, I'm too convinced that I have something that works and will continue to improve to listen to anyone telling me I should give up. This can be both a very good and a very bad trait to have. But if I do end up a financial failure, I  neither ask nor give any apologies.2. If it is a business worth risking your financial stability for, couldn't you find a co-founder to help share the burden of both cost and responsibility? This could provide you enough resources to continue on for a year before attaining profitability.
