It all depends how much commitment and cost one has dedicated to the hobby and the (perceived) opportunity cost this creates as a result - time and money that can't be spent on other stuff. This potentially leads to a minimum number of clear nights being required to make it all worthwhile. Where that threshold is will be different for everybody, but when it's reached (from the wrong direction), I'd imagine it to be sad moment indeed.
One strategy that has worked for me is not taking the whole thing too seriously. I've bought my gear knowing full well that it might not see starlight for months on end, but that's fine. There are plenty of other things to do in the meantime.
