In my opinion I think bad government and crime work together,  because in a state where the government is bad or corrupt, crime seems to thrive.

Bad governance breeds unemployment, poverty, hardship,ineffective law enforcement, political instability etc. This factors help crime to thrive in such state, so I don't think you can separate bad government from crime. The only way to curb crime,  (because it can not be fully eradicated in any society ) is for the government to do better, so they can improve the life of the citizens.

Budgeting is very important to individuals and businesses, because it's help in planning on how to manage your resources and also for unnecessary use of your resources. I think for an individual or a business or firm to grow, it's important they learn to make budget, because it helps plan your spending and it helps minimize irrelevant use of your resources. Budgeting also help you plan and prepare for the future,  because it helps you solve unseen circumstances or issues in the future.

This is a complete case of greed and probably gambling addiction, because how can you explain someone that is expect to land such contract and still choose to ruin it with manipulating a match just to gamble and make more money.

It's very possible that when losing in gambling , you tend to stay longer  because you are trying to win back your money or at least recover part of your loss, but I still feel it hurts more after losing and realizing how much time you have spend gambling.
Like we all know a time lost can never be regained, but money lost can be recovered.
So that's why you need to understand that gamble is for pleasure,  so always gamble with what you can afford to lose and know when to work way, so you don't lose your time and money.

Of course gambling addiction is not spiritual. I think it's just greed on most gamblers part. Most gamblers don't know when to walk away and as a gambler you must know when to walk away whether you're on a winning steak or losing.
But the Oliver twist in some people will urge them to want more and keep going especially when they are losing to try and win back their losses which can be addicting.
Gambling success is based off of statistical analysis and pure luck, if you have this understanding, you will always stick to your predetermined limits.

Arsenal are definitely going to win the premier league this season. I think they already have the team to compete for the premier league, but just need a few pieces of the puzzle(A world class striker and a left winger)to win the premier league . If they can complete the signing of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres and probably Rodrigo from Real Madrid, then they are good to go all the way to win the league.
With the commitment I am seeing from the management in getting the players, it shows they are serious about winning it.
But after all this signing and they still fail to win the premier league,  then we can all conclude that Arsenal is not ready and will not win the league for a long time.

First rule of betting is always stake money that you can afford to lose. Secondly recognize when to stop and walk away. Again I would advise to avoid chasing losses, thinking you can get your money back with next game, bro can get you into money problems.
Personally sports betting is always my go to, it's easier to predict as a football fan unlike casino games that are highly unpredictable.

I don't agree that gambling should be banned, but it should be restricted by the government.
Instead of putting a ban, the government can call on the national lottery commission (known as NLRC) that is responsible for the licensing and regulations of all lottery and gambling activities to make changes to their current processes, to help ensure that the rules set out by the lottery regulatory commission act 2025 are being abided by, because there are many positive impact that  regulated and permitted betting can have.
For instance , there are economic benefits through increased tax revenues and job opportunities.
With the increase in poverty in the country, gambling0 is a quick way to make money either as a betting operator or as a gambler.

I totally agree with you on this. It’s way easier to be a Bitcoin investor than to be a trader or miner. For miners, you need to be financially capable; able to afford steady electricity, large mining machines, and powerful computers. Honestly, a lot goes into mining these days to make it successful. Trading is also very risky, you need capital and deep, long-term knowledge. That’s why it’s not really advisable for most people. Investing is more straightforward. The DCA strategy has made it easier for anyone to invest in Bitcoin with their extra income, no matter how small or big it is.

The thing is, Bitcoin doesn’t magically create wealth if you invest in it. What you put in is what determines your profit in the future. Every chance to invest is a chance to grow your wealth.

I hear people say how hard it is to buy a whole Bitcoin, and I wonder why they still think that way. Maybe they don’t fully understand how investing works. It’s not about buying a whole Bitcoin; what matters is how much of your discretionary income you can put in and the percentage gain you can get over time. It’s the same with other appreciating assets like real estate or stocks. It’s not just the rich investing anymore, anyone can own a piece. The only difference is that someone who owns more will see bigger returns, but everyone still profit if they hold it for long-term.

For the past few weeks now bitcoin has been on a bearish run which made some investors be in a state of fright, but for certain sets of investors they know its just a dip. as the saying goes buy in the dip and hold. According to analysis this time has the potential to be the best time to buy bitcoin, i mean like right now as at the time im making this post. The major question you all may ask is WHY.
 Now the past has been used to predict the future number of times, and it has proven to be to be a reliable source of prediction over time. Bitcoin  always has a pattern of break all time high and retest, break all time high and retest, now the retest is known as the dip also and once it makes that dip it has potentials to push back up. But now the big question is when will the dip be over and the coin start to move up to break the new all time high. The answer is now! this is because over time bitcoin has a high level of respect for Fibonacci retracement tool, at a the level 0.5 and 0.618 level and this has been proven not only on bitcoin but also on other coin market, so this might finally be the end of the dip leading to a bull run, and if it breaks this fib retracement levels there is a high probability that bitcoin will go below $50k, but nevertheless i do believe that this might be the end of the dip and also the best time for investment.

This article by the BBC dissects the mathematics used to calculate Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” revealed during his Liberation Day announcement. The administration said it was based off multiple factors such as existing tariffs, trade barriers, and monetary policy. However, it appears the administration used a much simpler method: The value of exports divided by the value of imports divided by 2. So tariffs appear to be based only on the United States’ trade deficit. If the U.S. had a trade surplus, such as with the United Kingdom, then a base tariff of 10% was applied. Okay, to be honest I usually try to be academic and dispassionate in my personal response, but this is just plain stupid. Tariffs, if used properly, could help grow American manufacturing but again to be blunt, this ain’t it. I’ve never fully bought in that Trump is evil, but I do believe he is an egomaniacal moron. There’s even indications that his cabinet lies to him regularly because any modicum of bad news will get you shut out. But I’m getting sidetracked. In general, what are your thoughts? Can we expect to see a roll-back on these tariffs? What may the next few months look like?

Main source of information is here: How were Donald Trump’s tariffs calculated?

I dont agree with you. You should definitely have an emergency fund for unexpected events that may happen. If not, you are just going to take your investment later on to attend to the emergency. A 2-6 months emergencies is enough to start an investment you dont need to gather all the money in the world. The reason for having emergency funds is to play it safe while you are starting your investment. There is no certainty of any bad happening but what if? That is the question you should be asking yourself. Because we dont know the future so to avoid any investment mistake why not have an emergency fund. After 2 months you can start your investment but still have it in mind that if you are not satisfied with the amount you have in your emergency fund you can put more funds there.

Financial education will certainly start from home, but majority of this comes from experience and not from parents. yes parents also play a role but the real knowledge of finacial discipline comes from experience of past mistakes.
