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 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.
It appears you've learned quite a lesson from your personal experience about self control and the potential consequences of not having it when it comes to gambling. You're right that it's not just about losing money, there are also other hazzard irresponsible gambling can cause a gambler such as emotional trauma, this often happens when a gambler has lost everything maybe due to chasing losses and then ended up taking loans to continue gambling in order to recover the funds he lost, this can easily result to emotional trauma, as well as affecting your mental health and leading someone to frustration, which can often make some gamblers often attempt to take their own life.
