Reply to Ableton Live 8 buy or not to buy? Hmmm tuff one here.

I'm believeing about purchasing Ableton Live 8.

Pros and cons are running through my head.

Pros are I could be teaching myself something that I find fun and more useful then the 5 hours of video games I put in a evening .

Cons are if I end up sucking ass at producing then basically i'd lose the 400.00 I put to own the software. I like producing but basically I just watch youtube videos and copy exactly what they are doing and it's beginner stuff. Like using the "impulse feature". Wondering if I should even try this out, considering I can't even make a solid mix that people enjoy.
