I absolutely disagree with this.
If you are able to have savings after all living necessities, you can be using not more than 1% of your income on gambling. No need to think about the budgeting like it is something special.
I spend more on things that add up to me than things that do not add up.
Id have to agree with that statement for sure. Like id rather buy more shitcoin over gambling any day. Now buying shitcoins is a gamble in and of itself so maybe its just a less shittier form of gambling? Loll.
Having a whole budget for gambling though is serious. I hope your returns have bode you well OPThat's the point. Some people have a habit to include gambling in their daily life. While there are others who will prefer to put it in something they see valuable but still worthless in the end. I myself is guilty of spending cosmetics in video games. It's a waste of money for some but the excitement I get is comparable to the other things that I do.
As long as it doesn't concern our financials and doesn't interfere with our life then we should let those people do what they want with their money.
