Yes, that's right, as we live, we need the necessities to survive, therefore, by having a fixed income, we must be able to share it evenly, for example, the income we earn is set at 100%, so we must prioritize our needs first, so it's 70%. for necessities, 20% for drinks or snacks, and 10% for gambling, and make sure that 10% must be able to last for a certain period of time, don't deposit money with a budget that exceeds 10% of the income earned.

but I'm sure there are still many people who ignore this, many of those who gamble are, when they have money they can gamble until they get a big win even though it means all the money they have is gone. The point is, if you don't have the money to gamble, don't force it, and if you do have the income, don't gamble excessively. If you don't have an income but have a little money, don't think about doubling it by gambling, because as you said the result will most likely be disappointment. Therefore, gamble while you have money and don't overdo it, try not to light a fire in the middle of lots of dry paper.

That is why we must be able to manage our finances well and allocate a budget for all daily needs and a budget for gambling. By allocating a certain amount of money for gambling, we can gamble sufficiently, and it will not interfere with other daily needs, so we can be calm when gambling. Once we have a budget for gambling, we must prepare ourselves to learn self-control because if we only prepare a budget for gambling without being accompanied by good self-control, we will have the possibility of exceeding the budget limit because of the results we receive from gambling. That will pose a risk for us because we can use more of our budget for gambling, which could disrupt the budget for other needs.

You are right in saying that many still ignore this because they underestimate this problem, so they don't want to make a budget or allocate funds so that when they lose or win, they will continue gambling. There is the possibility of using even more money. And if all the budget for gambling has been used up, we should not take the budget for other needs to use for gambling because that will disrupt everything. This is why we must learn discipline in using funds for each need. You should not have any thoughts of making money from gambling because it will be very difficult, especially if you only have a limited budget.

Its manageable if theres a clear line - a gambling pot separate from basic requirements. I often recommend to treat it like a hobby and budget for other activities.

The attraction of doubling money through gambling is itself a hazard. Fun should be the goal, not profit. Finding additional revenue streams is smarter, I've learnt. It keeps gambling in the "fun zone" without the pressure to win.

Gambling should not be done with extra money. Enjoy responsibly. If the budget doesns allow, its a no-go. The experience, not the result, is what makes gambling fun. Enjoy your fun fund without stress by staying inside its limitations.

Yes, we should be able to use gambling as an activity in our free time so that we won't think about gambling all the time and can prevent us from wanting to gamble.

We should not be tempted by offers to double our money through gambling because that does not apply to everyone who gambles. They must be aware of the risks they can get from gambling, where they can lose more and more money. Playing gambling is only for fun and gambling should not be used excessively.

Gambling must be done with limits and self-control so that you don't experience problems that can stress you out. By playing gambling, we should be able to have fun in our free time and not become more stressed or hopeless because we have experienced a lot of losses.
