Getting out of the hobby.

[Delphinus]

Possibly, but there are sometimes even positive "reasonings" to getting out too. The bottom line though, been at this long enough to see that it is cyclical and fairly bursty in nature. Just by coincidence alone, a number of people will get into the hobby and a number of people will get out. Sometimes it's burn out, sometimes it's just time to try something else or redirect the funds to something else. The reasons for getting out are as varied as the reasons for getting in.
