$40k is a lot to put in a business you have no idea if it can make money or whether it is needed.

It's a definite that people have to eat. I would assume most failures in restaurants and convenience stores are operations, not a critically flawed business model.

But yes, I guess $40k is less than $2M, but it also takes $40k away from another venture and possibly having to go back to a day job to take another run at something.

All because you didn't validate the problem before cutting off your income source.
