I got really worried over the habit of some friends who are into betting or gambling and how they often stake into a game in a week more than what they earn even in a month and most time are not able to get it back in a couple of plays. So it got me really worried and concerned
What would be your advice for such if they were to be your friends as a caring friend who want them to not get financially drained in the process?
Brave friendships last for years but weak friendships break up in a few days. These brave friends should be held and cared for because they can help you with their experience or lend you money in times of trouble. I think I know the reason why you are suspicious of these friends. You may think that their losses in gambling will be large and they will become addicted so they may ask you for a loan after losing their wealth. If you really think so then there is a logical reason for this. In most cases they are more harmed than benefited by them. Therefore, it would be more logical to adopt a moderate approach to such friends rather than to get too close.
