Gambling was initially a pastime for the wealthy, but its accessibility has changed the dynamic.  Imagine someone with significant resources viewing gambling as entertainment, while someone struggling financially sees it as a potential escape route. The statement that "gambling is for fun" can be misleading.  The "fun" might be fleeting, especially for those who can't afford losses.  Imagine the emotional toll of losing money for someone already facing financial hardship.  The enjoyment of wealthy individuals who gamble with disposable income is a different experience.

The desire of someone in poverty to adopt a "rich person" mindset is understandable.  The hope of achieving financial security through gambling is a powerful motivator.  However, relying on luck is an unreliable path to wealth. The emphasis on responsible budgeting is crucial.  Gambling should only be done with money specifically allocated for entertainment, not with essential living expenses.  The potential for financial ruin makes using essential funds for gambling reckless.
