Yes, it is the madness of a gambling addict that will destroy your life and that of your family. I also have a friend who works hard but unfortunately he spends his money just to gamble. He is not married so he has no responsibilities to his family. But he had debts and that was also used for gambling. His hard work is just for gambling. It's a shame because it means he has ruined his future. It's a shame when he spends his money on gambling instead of investing.
I think it might be the only way that person knows how to "invest".
There's really no way to be rich by getting a salary only. You need to invest in something, and over time, you get the benefit of the increased price. Or rather, the relative value of cash goes down against your assets.
People always want to make money quickly so they always think investment is a way to make money that takes a long time, that's why people prefer to gamble because for them there they can get money faster even though they also lose money quickly too, but without them ignore and realize that in the end they are addicted to gambling and get trapped in it, having a lot of debt and spending more than usual just to chase wins so they can recover all the money they have lost in gambling. obviously that was the wrong choice.
But we can't blame other people for their choices, everyone has a process for living their own lives because they have choices for their lives, if they prefer to live as gambling addicts of course they will not be cured because they will ignore anyone who gives them advice. to him, unless they prefer to be better, they will definitely leave gambling and then learn to invest, because not everyone knows how to invest, they always think it's just a waste of time, even though we know investing also has risks, just like gambling, but There are still more benefits to investing than gambling.
