Of course, there's no debate and options here, it's always our families that's why we've tried playing to be able to give our loved ones a better future and hope for it. There's no way anyone can prefer gambling over their families, perhaps there's but a total idiot and a total gambling addict doesn't have self-control. To have a good life you need to know when to save money and when to gamble.
It's debatable if there are certain situations that we have to consider. We thrive to work for the future of our life and as well as our family so if you're in the good race of your career why you would give it up to give them the best life that they can later? I think it's a very tricky question and you can apply every answer base on your reasoning and the possible future situation that you may see. Anyway it's an opinion based answer so there's no wrong nor correct.
