Is it easy to be a responsible player?

It is when you're a family man and when your mindset is focused on your family. There should always be a limitation on how much you spend on gambling, regardless of whether you are married or not. Excessive gambling is not a good habit.
Being responsible is not that really hard. Everyone knows we can't beat the casino, and we can't hit a jackpot without spending too much. At the end of the day, it is just our money we win back when the algorithm decides to let you win lol. However, this will definitely not apply with sports betting and other pvp card games.

I agree. When you have responsibilities.

Honestly, I cannot gamble even 4 USD in my account because I cannot complete my payment for the electric bill if I gamble it. I need to wait for my next salary so that I can play again, and I think that's becoming a responsible gambler. We can stop whenever we want, and we won't play because the money is needed for something more important.
If we can somehow follow that rule, then we are responsible gamblers who always think about our responsibilities first before our own bad habits.

Being a responsible player really comes down to knowing your priorities and keeping gambling in the right place when your mind is on your family and on your real life obligations it becomes easier to set limits gambling should never come before food on the table or paying the bills if you can draw that line clearly then being responsible is not that difficult.

The truth is casinos and betting platforms are built to profit not to make you rich so going in with the mindset that you are only spending what you can afford to lose is key once the money is gone you accept it and move on instead of chasing losses that kind of discipline separates responsible players from those who end up in trouble.

Your example is exactly what responsible gambling looks like choosing to skip gambling with 4 dollars because it is needed for the electric bill that simple decision shows control awareness and priority setting it may not sound like much but this mindset saves people from a lot of regret. Responsible gamblers always remind themselves that gambling is entertainment not a source of income when you respect that and stick to it you can enjoy the game without hurting yourself or your loved ones.
