You gotta think longer term. Not all coins are worth mining depending on your setup. If you can eek out some profitable coins early on and hold on to them, then eventually you may be able to recoup some cost. I'm ok with adding a few bucks a day for my mining now when it'll be worth more later. I'm still kicking myself for not being more patient with BTC a few years ago. I'll probably switch to ASICs for alt coins sometime in the future though. I need my gpu for other stuff.
