You might think differently about the saying “only gamble what you can afford to lose.” But it just means using money you’re totally okay with losing, like, you won’t stress about it later. It’s kind of like buying a movie ticket. You paid to enjoy it, right? But imagine regretting it and adding up every cent you’ve ever spent on movies. That’d be weird, wouldn’t it?

If you spent money and had a good time, don’t beat yourself up or count what’s gone. You got what you wanted, no need to expect more.
