This happened to me, I thought it would be a nice idea to double my 12b ISK instead I lost most of it. Then I quit for over a month before I even claimed the 20% I had won. Thankfully, I'm being helped with recovering that 20% now that I'm back.
I'm not sure what I want to do in EVE but I've never tried manufacturing, I think I'm going to try that.
But because of this and perhaps prior to this I was losing attachment to ISK, though obviously not that much because it made me quit. But now that I've lost so much regaining it seems almost silly. Plus, people are making hundreds of billions doing Incursions which makes it seem pointless to try and amass anything as it's petty in comparison and I don't like grinding.
Better question is probably what did or could rekindle your passion for EVE?

Make more ISK and gamble it, you're bound to have a good luck turn after that. Remembers, fly Frigates - Capsuleers are more tenacious than baseliner crews.-á |

Having floating ISK at present is probably a bag thing because it is being de-valued by the ISK-faucet that is Incursions.
Your best option, if making ISK is you end-game or goal, is probably some wise investment on the market.
It's a bit of a black art but I'd advise starting small by looking to make small gains with a few mil to play with and work up from there.
Don't fly/gamble what you cannot afford to lose. If you're in a player corp then war-dec is just something you have to accept is coming with it, regardless of your play-style. ~CCP |

From personal experience, having less money actually makes the game more fun.
I used to make a lot of ISK by playing the markets, but at some point, I got burned out. Now, after years of PLEXing and buying nice stuff, I have a cash net worth of only a few billion ISK. I do, however, have plenty of stuff to kill people with. ISK has lost its meaning to me. It's something I only think about when I need to make a purchase, and don't have enough in my wallet to actually cover it. Rolling on twelve figures is no longer something you think about when you realize that you won't continue to play the game after it's no longer fun. I've been playing for about eight years. |

ding ding ding. Needing to make isk is a good drive, having so much isk you wouldn't know wtf to do with it means you're mostly just bored or start doing stupid stuff after which you cringe when it (obviously) goes wrong.
That's why I try to explain to newbies that buying/selling a plex when starting this game generally is a bad thing to do. Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

Never fly what you can't afford to lose also applies to gambling. Never gamble with what you would not be willing to lose.
If you do... you should probably seek help. |

Is that you Gaiden? WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place... |

Can I get an 'AMEN!' here..? I found myself temporarily well-off enoguh that I've not been worried about where my next batch of ammo is coming from, and for the last few weeks, I've been kinda bumming about, not doing much. OK, so I've trained a few skills, but the hunger is missing. Think I'll go lose a few more bombers, maybe get a few KMs too, and see if the ol' desperate hunger comes back.

Absolutely. In fact you may even want to discuss this with those you gamble with. Often they're more than happy to give you a loan you can use to gamble with, with very reasonable rates. |

I lost 20% of my worth in a stupidcide gank. Then another 25% to get my ship back in order. All it did was motivate me more to hit my first $bill... which I've done. And promptly spent 50% on a shiny new fleet. Look at em... all shiny and new and still in their boxes. Drooooool....
Now... back to a $bill! Huzzah! GÖ¬ They'll always be bloodclaws to me GÖ½ |
