I agree with you that it is very easy to spend the fixed income you earn, but it is difficult to manage it well. I myself once had a high income but often that income ran out without knowing where to go, this was because I couldn't manage it well. So in the end I thought of ways to manage my income well, one of which was by recording expenses, this, in my opinion, is often ignored by people who have income every month. and by recording those expenses, I can set a budget for gambling and not overdo it.
The importance of having a steady income can be useful for many things, including gambling if you really like gambling and the main thing is for needs. and what you say is true, if we have a fixed income we must be able to manage it well, divide everything well and prioritize our needs, not gambling. That's what you have to pay attention to, because in my opinion there are many people who have income but they risk all their income on gambling just because they want to get a big win.
Yeah, you are right as I also have that experience and not know where I spent that money. I admitted that I can't manage my income well but I still tried because I don't want to repeat the same mistake. Recording expenses is a good idea and I think I can try it later because with that recording, I can see what expenses that I already fills and know what the other expenses. But for a budget for gambling, I have provided separate funds from my income and that will not disturb my other expenses.
A steady income help us to manage the money to the right things and we will not have difficulty to separate it for each needs. We should be glad when we have a fixed income because we know our limit, especially for gambling so we don't have to breaks that limits and playing gambling excessively. But we must have control for ourselves in gambling because many people who doesn't have this, getting a problem when they are gambling.
That's good, we should gamble using funds that won't interfere with our other expenses, which of course are more important than gambling. And what we also have to pay attention to is that we have to be able to accept the reality that defeats are bound to happen which can result in the loss of our money. This must be paid attention to, because many people gamble but are not prepared for the reality of what will happen until they have the thought of depositing money back, perhaps the aim of which is to recover losses or chase wins. What is clear is that this is all due to not being able to accept the reality of defeat which will definitely occur.
For many people who become addicted to gambling, in my opinion, it is likely that they cannot resist the temptation to gamble. Indeed, the temptation of gambling is heavy, I feel it But now I can control myself because I know it is important. In order not to experience major losses we must be able to control ourselves. Also the big losses that occurred were due to myself not being able to limit the gambling activities that were carried out. As you said, have control over yourself. That's important, don't let us gamble with a loss of self-control which can result in big problems such as addiction and loss.
