Looking out for methods or strategies to control our finances is the right way to survive in this current world harsh condition. The labor increases for the worker, and he'll stress himself to meet up with the prices. Working late hours and learning new skills, is the fastest way of building our income in the future. However, some companies don't allow the workers enough time to rest, they are dismissed so late and aren't able to go to classes; online or offline to learn new skills. Such people will need to depend on the government for a decrease in the price of commodities. Boycotting their place of work to learn those skills could affect them if they get laid off. In most situations, it's good to look out for everyone. Though seems impossible, when making a suggestion, a good number of people should be on our minds. And people have already made life difficult for one another, the rich won't help the less privileged. The price of learning a skill skyrockets and difficult books are hard to find. Slimming the chances for most people with less time and money to fit into this category of survival methods.

While I agree with this survival ethic, I'd also love to encourage people who learning a new skill seems impossible, endeavor to do the right thing in their prospective companies to get promoted. Thereby, increasing their wages. Because it's easier and helps to stay focused. Then, the larger community of unemployed people, should get their hands on new skills in the tech and agricultural niche. Or better start up with reselling of products online, it serves the risks of being a middleman, but in the long run, they'll be able to generate wealth. That way a high number of citizens in a country will be able to survive the hike in prices of food. They now need to work closely with the producers in changing those prices. Buyers are also not told that they can manipulate the market. The power has already been removed from the citizens. Market prices are determined by the producers and the masses. If they refuse to buy at a high amount, the producer will reduce the price, when no sales are available.

The bitter truth is, that he'll need to lose all that money to learn again. Staying without money makes him think straight, hence it's not bad if he continues to be with less money and reasonable. Because the abundance of money can ruin the life of such men, if he's scared of managing 5k how would he handle higher figures? If truly he's the one seeking the advice, then he's half cured. This type of mistake is caused by the friends he keeps. The behavior can also affect his productivity during work. Going broke isn't bad for a businessman, he can become a better man when another money visits him next. However, if he continues lavishing the wealth meant for his family and wants to change, then he has to allow double signatory before accessing his money. His wife should own the second signature. So, whenever he wants to withdraw money, his wife would be aware of how he's going to spend the money. And whatever activity is not reasonable or helpful to the growth of the family, shouldn't be approved by the wife.

I wouldn't have minded his personal life and his money, but the fact he is married changes the scenario. Because his lavishing lifestyle won't affect only him. The wife will suffer for something she didn't subscribe to, the memory is painful. Single men can live such a life comfortably. The married men, don't enjoy this after the money disappears, risking the happiness of his woman. Reading our responses won't affect immediate help, he should practice quality comments. Your advice as the brother, is to assist him to stop drinking alcohol. It's simple, the lifestyle he found himself, in could be powered by too much alcohol. The drink changes the emotion in the decisions of the man. Surviving with no alcohol, or substance, helps the brain with great decision. Men when that urge arrives, abstain from drinks that'll control the speech and thinking you've piled up in the future.

It's unkind of a parent to start teaching gambling cons and pros to his kids. Gambling could be a fun activity, discussing gambling around kids, is quite very early. Would they be able to grow up without participating in gambling? and the fact the child has been lectured about the importance of gambling responsibly doesn't guarantee he would, as an adult. Hence your idea is great, waiting till they grow up is a smart move. The guardian needs to follow procedures. If the child isn't interested in gambling, what importance would it be to teach him gambling ethics? Doing that can send him into gambling prematurely. When not under our watch, he'd make a series of mistakes. Parents who gamble should be able to detect symptoms of gambling in the life of their ward. If discovered, they can initiate the idea of advising him not to make mistakes or gamble irresponsibly. The benefit of following procedures like what I wrote above, is to avoid the anger, agony, blame, and transfer of aggression in the life of our ward.

Because if we abuse the discussion of gambling, and lecture a kid on it, when he grows up, he'll easily learn to blame the parents for being the reason for his addiction, if he gets addicted. And blaming other people only worsens the situation of the child. His emotions and mind would convince him that all he's going through was as a result of his parent's carelessness. Thereby, transferring the aggression to his parents, instead of seeking help, the family will be at war. Parents understand that a few careless behaviors we exhibit to our child can ruin the home when he's grown. So, if you're planning on talking about gambling with a toddler, Pierre, please it isn't worth the stress and mental disorder it could cause him in the future. Allow the child some time to grow and decide where he wants to belong. Then, choose the right moment to inspect his results, then issue advice. Whenever things go wrong, he should blame himself, than his parents. Blaming ourselves helps us to heal; by taking responsibility.  

There is a general upbringing in the world, amongst children. Which is to try again. We keep on trying, and even after getting what we want, the impulses seek more of it. The gambling world is dealing with humans not robots. And we are obliged to behave accordingly. A problem if happening to one person could be seen as personal, but when it occurs with too many people, then the fault shouldn't be on anyone. But, it'll be seen as a general psychological problem. Go on Quora, you'll read hundreds of posts about people who wagered all the money they've won, ranging from 1k dollars, at once and lost it all. When credited with extra money maybe from family, they'll wager all the money, still. Believing that luck is on their side for winning thousands of dollars. The whole money goes back to the casino. Even if the gambler withdraws the money, he'd feel the urge to play more the next day. Within him, all his efforts are paying off. He wouldn't mind the subsequent losses, and keep on wagering until the whole funds gets exhausted.

Gambling addiction causes this type of problem to players, and they try to stop when broke. Immediately money is handed to the person, he'll rush back to gamble. This is related to the thread that says; reckless gambling begins from a win. However, not all gamblers get involved in this ill behavior. But, a colossal amount of gamblers have been through similar situations. While we blame the gamblers, let's take it outside the gambling niche. If a salesman gets more calls and closes deals often, he keeps on going to work. And also work diligently as a salesman. Humans tend to repeat, whatever works out in their life. Regardless of the challenges that follow after it worked. They'll keep reminding themselves of the positive days, as a weapon to get passed the negative moments. In a niche other than gambling, it's quite okay to keep on trying after a one-time win. But, gambling isn't a profession, and following a similar route would be detrimental to the life of the gambler. Yet it seems inevitable. The brain doesn't recognize whether it's gambling or not. It only releases those impulses, involuntarily.

Laughing, reading this, remembering old days, playing drought games, and watching older folks enjoy the fun. Not sure any casino has such a game. It's quite common amongst the old folks. And they usually gamble with the game. Spectators can also stake games on their favorite player. However, I don't think anyone has ever been addicted to a drought game. Unless a playmate is constantly available, it's not enjoyed alone. So, the fact that one party gets tired and stops playing, helps the players not to get addicted. The man in the story, is indeed a pro, for optimizing the fun of the game with lots of monetary rewards. Inviting old hands like him only improves the charisma of the spectators, players, and the game. It's quite a calculative game and helps brain power, a close cousin to chess games. His ideas are great, because of the joy he puts on the faces of older men. This could be an innovative idea in the future. Lots of people are interested in the game, but I rarely see such activities in today's society. Now, that he's retired, he can schedule weekly games, receive regular fun, and reduce the reward. At least to save up money for his retirement plan.


The only painful aspect of the game is losing money, but the way it's done, like any other board game, the losers are evicted for another player to participate. Hence, it reduces the rate of addiction, unlike online casinos where we can play every minute or second. I've watched men play it, they don't get addicted. Because money is involved, they only have a long argument over a mistake or broken rule. The fun is quite on a big cap with the losses, and it helps the elderly men to have real fun and improves critical thinking in men's lives. So, the fact he controlled himself to old age without being addicted also has to do with the nature of the game. Hence in gambling the structure, rules, and regulation of the game, contribute to the rate of addiction of the player.

The Government doesn't determine prices as it's under the decision of producers and customers. It solely depends on the rate of demand. But the government has the power to control the price. They can mandate that the price of a specific product doesn't bypass some amount; ceiling or floor. Yet it seems like the government only controls the price, but doesn't do its best in setting the salaries of civil servants, that barely get increments in salaries or minimum wage. The difficulty increases instead of salaries. If the government controls the prices of commodities, they are also aware of the expensive rate of those commodities. And doesn't care if their workers would be able to afford it or not. Hence a high number of suffering citizens keeps growing each day. The only thing the government should focus on is reducing the price of gasoline for transportation, then you'd notice a reduction in the high rate of food cost in the market. I've experienced that some food products are cheaper in the location where it's farmed or produced and more expensive in other places where it's transported.

So, the increase in the price of oil affects the prices of many products. Perishable goods like tomatoes transported by Aeroplane keep reducing in quantity per tagged prices. Making it difficult for the masses to feed well on fresh tomatoes. Due to the high cost of jet fuel. Transportation is one crucial aspect of the business chain, the producer may sell cheaper to the distributor, who increases the prices down to the retailer, and the final consumer buys commodities more expensive in small quantities. If they had enough money, they would have been buying in large quantities, saving them extra money to sort out other problems. In most countries, food takes up most people's salary, before the end of the month. So, since the government can't help with reducing the prices of these foods, they can increase the amount of money paid to workers to help them buy food in large quantities and save more money.

The designer shirts are nothing special from other shirts, the brand's logo hikes the price. The rich people wear those shirts to prove they have sufficient money to waste on cheap clothes, sold for a high amount due to the designer's name. In a few months, the clothe gets disposed of as rag. So, no special meaning in wearing those expensive clothes, if not to show off. Celebrities wear it for the music video business. While the super-rich don't patronize such clothes, they easily wear easy-looking clothes. Like the world's richest men, they also appear in cooperate wear to business meetings. Only the luxurious social media influencers wear expensive designers to help promote their page and that of the designer's shop. Other people who spend many luxurious items are the kids of rich men like Op said. But, in most cases, the super-rich rarely go broke to the extent of not falling back rich; their generation being homeless. It never takes a single year to be in the circle or family of 1%, the money is very old and can't diminish without any significant reason.

Take for instance, Big Paul, from the Castellano Family, he happened to be super rich and lived in the most expensive neighborhood in America. He continued his Father's meat butcher business and built more wealth through it. Such people didn't pass any financial disputes, as kids till adulthood.

For that single act, nothing is money to similar people who grew up in such families. They'll easily buy the most expensive cars, houses, and clothes. But, those who didn't grow up wealthy, but ended up rich. Don't easily spend lots of money on fancy things, like their kids would. Another people who spend lots of money on purchasing expensive things are the middle class people claiming to be rich. And, sooner they get poorer, leaving their kids, with no business, property, or job opportunity. Hence, they'll end up homeless like Op said. I think he's referring to the kids of this type of middle-class men.

The trend of working on our side hustle is no longer a thread, it's now a reality. Many people quit their jobs to set up new businesses that yield high profits compelled to their office jobs. Despite the promising rewards or earnings of running a business, I'd say it's not meant for everyone. We are supposed to engage in activities that help us grow, if working for someone would do that, then it's not wrong. The crucial thing is, delivering our aspect of the jobs to the company or the audience we serve. Both are not simple. But, it's never advisable for a visionary who can't run a company to try it. Each person in the business world is expected to focus on the role he plays the best. Those who don't succeed in their journey of building a business, are not prepared in the first place. Trying to run a business, without an initial plan till the end of the journey, causes failure for the intending entrepreneur. Some may not know the right service to render in society, others won't have the patience to stick around, for long, when the journey is not going as planned.

That's why you see lots of businesses and websites shutting down each hour, yielding more opportunities for expired domain vendors. In generating wealth, we must be good at detecting or predicting what society needs at a specific era. We can decide to do what a lot of people hate doing, it's a fast way of making money and building a fast-growing business. But, lots of business ideas, opened in the market, have been saturated. Therefore, tightening the possibility of such a business to succeed, due to lots of competitors. This affects the price of the sold product. So, when, one can't manage these risks of being fast in diversifying ideas, they can stay as employees in their respective companies like the old ones did. Instead of losing in both sides, the employee is on the right track working for his boss's business. The experience he gains, in the office, will help the employee in future to secure him more deals or start up a new business.

Every form of gambling could be risky, even the one done as a joke between two friends. The loser may feel it deep down, as not everyone thinks the same way. The ads all over social media introduce adults to gambling, but the kids, how then do they get to see those ads? If not in stadiums. Remember it starts gradually, and the kids can grow up practicing a higher kind of gambling. The right thing to do, is avoiding the slightest form of gambling. As the urge for gambling starts gradually. If not taken care of, the child when he gets to adulthood will get too involved in gambling.

Playing slots is easy and the results are instant, which makes gamblers continue playing for quick wins. But, slot takes up the most money in gambling, due to the multiple times of plays by each gambler. Regardless, any amount the player stakes, he'll spend much money in gambling, but the $1 limit is quite better. Reducing it further helps players who would spin multiple times a day. Hence, they won't spend much money. It's also a nice strategy for winning in the slot. As the player can be opportune to win sometimes. Slot is still the most played game, if I'm not mistaken. Because on the scoreboard or chat forums, many players have tried playing slot games. It's almost like any form of gambling, we win or lose. But, OP's complaint isn't wrong, as the possibility of predicting right in slot games is quite very low. It's crucial to stop when the losses are too many. In good casinos with a better house edge, gamblers also win significant amounts of money through slots. Hence, players should also take advantage of crosschecking the house edge of every casino before playing slots with them. As some houses don't provide any at all in the slot. And it's the reason most people think slot games are quite too difficult. Imagine playing all the time with no single win. When experiencing Zero return to play, checking up on other casinos is the right decision to take.

He did the right thing to secure his future and save himself from making silly mistakes that would affect his finances. I've not heard of such things, but it's quite common online, that some players get banned from playing games across every other online casino. Don't understand why other people see him as a fool, does it mean they want him to continue being addicted or repeating his mistakes? Or is he blamed for being addicted after winning 5k dollars? But, encouraging him to exclude himself through that method. It's quite a fast way of dealing with gambling addiction.


Didn't check through the site, does it work like what I described above? A good number of addicted players won't have the privilege of doing similar things. The addiction may have redirected their thoughts to focus mainly on gambling. The guy is indeed lucky to follow his mindset and quit immediately. He's gone through thick and thin due to gambling addiction. Imagine staking his house rent. The previous win or his, really left him a scar that reminded him he could win such an amount again. Gamblers should learn from the mistakes of others, and avoid compulsive or problem gambling, because of a big win in the past.

Most times I don't blame the gamblers. These actions are common in other aspects of life. Whenever a person does something and wins, they'll try it or do some more. Take for instance, when you make a post in the forum and get merited. It'll push you to make more posts and continue making posts. Although the example isn't related to gambling, I need you to understand that there is a part of the brain responsible for that. And Op is right. Those who don't win at all in gambling will soon stop gambling. A part of the brain is also responsible for making people feel they're not supposed to be in a particular niche because they don't get rewarded

Looking at the schedules of the holiday season, travel, shows, carnivals, vacations, etc, I'd be spending less on gambling. A lot has been given already to gambling during the last few months. This is the time to rest with loved ones, and have some fun, attending real-life activities. Spending more on gambling could ruin other fun activities laid out already for our good and increment of productivity. The extra money we make during the end of the season, helps us to meet up with the expenses awaiting us in this season of love. While gambling, I'd need to wager a few amounts each day and endeavor to maintain the limit of gambling for that day. However, there'll be less time attributed to gambling. Many times we'd be exhausted from attending different parties and gathering friends. The only time left would be for movies and sleep. Hence, there'll be only a few moments of gambling, till the next year, when people focus more on their career and would need gambling to kick start the year. In the form of a catalyst for thinking fast and making great decisions.

The newbies need not just think several times, they only need to practice numerous times what they've learned about gambling. It's not simple to master the act of gambling as a newbie. Even with a truckload of advice, gambling newbies will make a series of mistakes. Which may end up affecting their mental health. The problems gamblers face after multiple years of gambling can be traced down to their newbie days. Beginners are expected to be careful and responsible gamblers at the early stages of gambling, to develop a strong control over losing control in gambling or getting addicted. That's why those who get carried away in gambling are newbies who blindly follow some ads, without paying close attention to their actions or controlling their eagerness to make quick money in gambling. The mark gambling for money leaves on newbies doesn't get cleared, it only leaves the remembrance of how much they've spent in gambling and would want to get them back. The journey of recovering their long lost money, makes the gambler to even lose more money and enter into deep trouble.

Indeed, gambling to most people could be a culture, because they heard about it, growing up. And it's wrong to expect a child who couldn't help but find himself in a society where people discuss gambling, to regret knowing about gambling. It's not his fault and he can't stop them from discussing gambling, hence he'll join them. Nobody who isn't interested in one sport or another. Even if a child isn't interested, his dad would be, and he'll see gambling ads on the stadiums. It's rare to find a person who hasn't heard or knows about gambling. It's quite a huge niche around the globe, as it's corresponding with all world sports. Other than that, the only time regret should creep in is when we join gambling and make mistakes oftentimes. This time, it's under our control. Unlike the above situation, where we couldn't help but know about it.

This time as gamblers, we can control our activities and endeavor not to be carried away by too many gambling activities. However, regretting gambling could help minimize the actions of newbie gamblers. As they'll begin to rethink, their action.

The worst aspect of gambling is, not regretting our mistakes. Although in my previous response, I said that, every gambler is expected to regret gambling one time in his whole gambling experience. Which isn't bad. The bigger problem emerges when the gambler isn't conscious of his mistakes anymore. He's now comfortable with making mistakes in gambling. He doesn't regret it anymore. Such a player will face difficulty in the long run, of gambling. However, not everyone who doesn't regret it, I mean after making a few mistakes is addicted. But, those who continuously repeat the mistake and don't have a remorse, can be considered addicted gamblers.

On those conditions, it's not advised for any side of the party to continue gambling. There are always two sides to every story. While others may think that it's wrong, another family may grow happier through gambling together. However, if they're just newbie gamblers who are not experienced in gambling, then it isn't worth the argument, that they should stop gambling. I'm always on the side of experienced gamblers, who as a family enjoy the fun of gambling. And have all the required strategies needed to be responsible in gambling. The risk is always high if one side gets addicted, and the other spouse doesn't notice it. The finances of the family will be detrimental. Thereby affecting the success of the family. But, if a responsible gambler figures out that his wife also gambles, he shouldn't fidget or push his wife to jump out of her gambling addiction.

It'll only affect her and could lead her to gambling secretly, and expose her to problem gambling. Which won't be a careful move by or from the husband.

The right thing to do is to watch her play and also limit how much she should spend on gambling. The experienced gambler also has to control his wife not to get addicted. Saving the family from a financial problem. Telling one party to stop, will cause lots of trouble. Like, who would stop? gambling isn't bad. Excessive of it is. However, there's a misconception about the notion of gambling and people need to change how to perceive gambling. I'm surprised not to have seen a comment that says gambling can help in uniting the family. When two spouses are in a similar niche, they'll have a better rapport of themselves. Therefore, gluing them together, and making them love each other the more.

Gambling addiction happens to be the worst kind of addiction with no other ways of redirecting the addiction. Unlike the physical feelings of pain in some parts of the body, gambling addiction requires mental stability to get hold and stop gradually. If a gambler isn't prepared to stop gambling, even when he's not addicted it'll take some time until he'll think about stopping gambling. The same applies to the addicts. Like I said, the addiction is mentally dealing with the gambler, and sometimes they don't feel the impact and how low in funds they've gone. Instead, they try to gamble more and engage in illicit activities, lying to family members, to raise money to gamble again. Running out of funds doesn't stop addicts from gambling. It can only stop a nonaddict. When a person is addicted to something, nothing stops them, they can't sleep or have fun without participating in gambling or whatever it is that led them to addiction. That's why we hear numerous stories of gamblers who hurt themself after taking loans to gamble.

A lot of addicted gamblers require lots of external help to change. There is nothing their self-control can do to help the mental problem addiction has caused the player. Do you know that sometimes the gambler gets to understand he's addicted, but feels confused about the gravity pushing him to gamble any time he's got money in his palms? Gambling addiction seems like the worst form of addiction, as the addict thinks he's doing something that could fetch him money. The other addictions don't promise money to their victims, hence they can restrict their emotions from repeating that same thing. Some drug addicts, wake up one money and decide to stop taking drugs. But, a gambling addict is unsure whether he's addicted or not. So, while the addicts work towards going cold turkey, the newbies should endeavor not to fall into the same trap, in their course of venturing into gambling.

I'd say managing my bankroll is what I'm currently good at, as it's completely under my control. Unlike predicting games, that always changes to negative results before the game is over. Judging from the recent results of big teams losing their games. Many players lose their predictions and don't understand why a team like Arsenal won't be able to score a single goal. I'd play clubs like Arsenal to score, not to win, but the game results don't fit into any of those categories. Imagine millions of people who would stake Arsenal to score. They'll all lose their money. So, since the money management depends on the gambler, it's better to bet a small amount on such games than wagering too much hoping to win big. However, the regret comes when the team ends up winning the game. The gambler will feel greedy, and think he would have won bigger rewards if he wagered more money. Sometimes the risk is worth it, and another way around it's safe to manage our funds. Instead of losing out on a game that'll consume a huge portion of our savings.

While it depends on different categories of people, we need to understand the type of gamblers who fall for these mistakes of regretting the act of gambling. The lonely players tend to regret gambling, newbies without strategies also regret failing too many times in gambling, and those with a lack of self-control. Many other people can regret gambling, but we can interlink them according to their behaviors and childhood neighborhoods or even family rules. Some kids who grew up around gamblers, even without research, would think gambling is quite a good money-making method. If the player doesn't win enough money or loses his money he'll feel a rush of regret on his brain. Some might end up crying or feeling deep remorse for spending their money with no caution. Hence, I'd say that those with strong character, are responsible gamblers who play to enjoy the process. And doesn't care whether they'd win or lose. This means that such a player already budgeted some money for gambling and it won't affect his financial responsibility. While those who regret gambling, may be close to problem gambling, they still need some gambling orientation like putting a strategy in place, before gambling.

Moreover, a gambler with a strong character can still regret his action, if he's faced with some problems, which led him to gamble irresponsibly. It's rare to maintain our self-control in all situations or conditions in life. Many people who never gambled for the first time, spent money in gambling because of a piece of sad news or depression. And the gambler with a strong character isn't exempted. As gamblers, we can't detect for sure, when we'll make a mistake or have a problem gambling. And when that happens, we have to regret our actions. The major problem is having to regret every single time we gamble. Which isn't great, but sometimes every gambler will regret making a gambling mistake. Hence, my advice would be for gamblers to control their actions or decisions, not to repeat a mistake over and over again.

That will be before they get addicted to gambling. When addicted the gambler can't stay without gambling. It all depends on the lifestyle of the gambler, where and who he spends his time with can help the player to change. But, it's wrong to say that an addict will instantly stop being addicted to gambling. If he's not getting help, the addiction will improve every single day. Especially, when he's alone and doesn't communicate with anybody about his problem. He'll be able to quit slowly if he's sincere enough to change, and controls his urge to gamble. Which is not simple to achieve. It has to do with mental health, not physical ability. Sometimes he thinks his friends will laugh at him for getting addicted, and won't open up to them. Many factors have made addicted players remain addicted, some try to claim all is fine when with other people. Friends who struggle with addiction and don't feel like sharing their problems can be detected by his recent livelihood. Does he cancel evening hangouts, stay broke often, and feel stress and anxiety all the time?

We must visit the person and have a close conversation with them, asking them questions about what's taking up their time. Although, the questions should be asked the right way, or he won't share any reasonable answer.

If he opens up, our contributions should be effective in changing the person. The gambler wants to change, but can't on his own, so if we show him that it's possible to change, he'll confide in us as a friend. Introducing them to a therapist works fine, yet can be stressful. If the client and therapist relationship doesn't seem strong. The therapist needs to act like the addict's closest friend to be able to attract him to therapy. Or he'd rather remain an addict than attend those sessions. We can also be a therapist to a gambler if he's our close friend and listens to our instructions. Limiting his bank account's daily expenses also helps in controlling the gambler's habit of spending much money on gambling. With all the processes required to cure an addict, especially in gambling, it's not an easy thing to go cold turkey in gambling.
