I will like to know how quickly do you forget a painful loss and bounce back.
Personally, money doesn't move me so much, so I let go almost immediately in most losing cases. But I do not pray that I experience such useless days that I will be so emotional and lose too much that I can bear, it's senseless. Well, that was nature's difference. Our minds vary.
Whether it's your nature or not, the factor that should be considered is the financial status of the gambler. If the gambler earns regularly, has multiple streams of income, or is rich altogether, the ability to heal from the loss-induced hurt will be quicker than for the person who is either poor or has little.
I think you are correct in stating that financial status is very significant in the rate at which a person is able to recover after a loss. When an individual is stable in terms of income or savings, he or she can heal both emotionally and financially much faster. But to a person with little money a minor loss can haunt as it directly impacts day-to-day needs. In the meantime, attitude matters as well. There are those who find it easy to lose and others who live on loss regardless of their wealth. The most sensible thing is to not take unnecessary risks that you can actually afford to lose in which case it becomes easier to recover the amount as well as the mind.
