Earning money is real hard and it's a no-brainer. So basically what I do is I write down in a diary of my daily income along side with what I have sacrificed for earning that amount.

Yesterday night after finishing my own assignment, I worked as a freelancer from 12am to 2 am to complete an assignment based on electrical engineering to earn $20.

I wrote down in my diary - earnt $20 - sacrificed 2 hours of sleep, 2 hours of not watching netflix and put in mental effort when mentally I was exhausted.

Now when I would have the urge to gamble with that $20, I would just see the diary and would realize I am not just gambling with $20 but gambling with that sacrifice of time and effort which I'll never get back. And it has worked for me to a certain level.

What's your opinion on this......

You don't have to gamble all those $20 but you can gamble a small portion of it, I'm not encouraging you to gamble but giving you a clear picture that a gamble can still gamble at even a small amount, because most gambling casinos, do not have minimum bet in fact I once allocated only $2 and still have the fun that I want but of course not the profit.

$2 is a typical amount I usually win or lose daily. Indeed you can still have fun playing like that, because $2 is not nothing, but, at the same time, it's not the end of the world when you are losing it.

In fact, many casinos do have a minimum bet set, especially on Slots, but it's $0.1, or even much less than that, so, yes, $2 bankroll is enough to have some fun. The key is to not start chasing your losses in the case of losing all your balance, lest your initial loss turned into something like $20, which most of us here can't easily afford to lose.
