INSERTorBUST

So exactly what options do people have when they bust? I've seen a bit too many of these GSorBust or MMorBust screennames on WSO to not ask (maybe all just same person w/ different names).

I am NOT in this situation but am curious about other avenues pursued and how people deal w/ this kind of "failure".
