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......

Just like in a saying that money don't grow on trees meaning earning money should be acquired through hard work, that is why it is pretty hard for everybody if they keep wasting money on something that they don't really need. Gambling is really not a place to spend your money on because you could really lose a lot of money in gambling, but it is okay if you are wealthy enough to do that.
