1501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep a record of winnings and losses in gambling? on: October 25, 2023, 10:08:41 PM
I don't need to keep records of my wins and losses because I can find them easily on the casino sites I use to gamble. So I don't need to do it or make records offline. This can make me trigger the desire to recover the losses I previously incurred. Instead of enjoying gambling as entertainment, I can go back to trying to recover the losses I experienced, which means the possibility of me losing will be even greater. And I don't want that to happen, especially since I'm trying to reduce the losses I previously lost.

If a person can treat gambling as entertainment, he will not gamble excessively, but instead, he can gamble responsibly. He will treat gambling as a type of entertainment so that his focus will not be on gambling alone because he knows there are many other activities that he can use to get entertainment. He can go to the cinema and watch the film he wants or do other things that are also interesting. He will not use gambling to make money, and therefore, he just has fun by gambling and to fill his free time. When a person can be a responsible gambler, he will not gamble excessively and knows when to stop gambling.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.
This will lead to suspension and getting fired from the job not to mention losing your opportunity to get a promotion, you will also have a bad reputation on your work and you be on the watch list of the supervisors and bosses.

Gambling while at work is the easiest way to lose one's job, it is just as bad as being incompetent in the office, this is like stealing your work time and the management don't want thief in their rank and files.
If we are suspended and end up being fired, we will suffer a loss because we will lose the job that can provide us with a salary. But because we have violated the rules at the office, we cannot defend ourselves because we gambled during working hours. Some offices will notify other offices about workers who have poor performance and bad reputations so that fired workers cannot apply for jobs at any office. This will make things difficult for us when we want to look for other jobs.

But if someone cannot differentiate between working time and gambling time, there is a possibility that they have a gambling addiction. He didn't seem to care where he was or what he was doing because he just wanted to fulfill his desire to gamble. We have to be careful about this and don't let us experience this because this will have an impact on our personal lives later.
1504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much do you Value your Privacy in Gambling? on: October 25, 2023, 04:56:51 PM
By not gambling at all, this is the only way to protect your privacy in gambling, because for the safety of gamblers we need to use a regulated casino for our good, you aren't safe either if you start using any casino that promised you that no form of verification will be carried out.

Trust me, such casinos are capable of doing anything they like because asking for KYC is an act of legal operation, nothing makes sense than a casino having the appropriate license, before you make deposit on any casinos you must be certain that they follow the regulations or else your money isn't safe either, not even your information is protected.

If you crave for privacy when gambling, use crypto for your bets and use a well regulated casino, if you don't like KYC do not gamble, find something else to do, but if you don't care about your privacy and information, you can use any casino you see, including those that don't need your KYC.
Not gambling online, not shopping online, and not doing anything online may protect them in terms of privacy because they don't need to verify their accounts so they can feel safe because they don't submit any documents to second or third parties. That's why we need to look for a casino that suits us, and it's not easy because we have to check them one by one and not rely on advice from other people. After all, what someone else uses may be different from what we want.

Casinos can do whatever they like, and this is where we have to check in more detail so that we know that the casino will not cause problems for its members. Trusted casinos will not have any problems because it is related to their reputation. Instead, they will explain everything to their customers who need help understanding more about the rules of their casino. They can use crypto to gamble, but we have to remember that casinos can ask us to do KYC anytime they want, so we have to make sure that we can get a casino that suits us.
1505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: October 25, 2023, 04:26:17 PM
Just because you and your partner have the same perspective on gambling, doesn't mean your relationship wouldn't be affected. Same with you, I have seen so many cases of gambling addiction which caused having a broken family, and some of the factors that lead to separation Included the loss of trust, emotional disconnection, and the presence of abuse. It is crucial to address gambling-related issues to protect and preserve relationships, encourage responsible gambling, and ensure that individuals affected by gambling addiction receive the help and support they need.
Having similar views about gambling might provide support for the gambling they do. But it will still influence your partner when you experience defeat. A person with a strong temperament may not be able to accept his defeat and will continue gambling, so if his partner advises him to stop gambling, that person will not accept it and prefer to continue gambling. Experiencing a case of gambling addiction can cause many problems for the gambling addict or his family, and if it spreads to his family, it will be difficult to resolve it. Most cases of gambling addiction will end in divorce, and if they are truly divorced, it is their children who will bear the moral burden.
1506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 25, 2023, 03:59:03 PM
I came to discovered that those that cash out and save the money always experience joy in the gambling center because, they don't allow anything to move them again at the moment than to be the one telling other gamblers what to do to achieve the same victory.
It is a normal thing to act properly by cashing out after a mysterious win, but because of greed, some will always think about having more attempts for higher win, this is what lead them to loosing their entire money without knowing, there's this particular insatisfaction in us that we may not know it's affecting our life, not until we made a huge mistake like in this case and have to regret taking such decision instead of cashing out and leave, same thing applies to those that are loosing and continue gambling with the mindset of having a recovery at the course, untill they realized they are way too far on loss.
Greed is what we must be able to avoid when we win, especially big wins. We don't need to follow what other people do because, after all, we are responsible for the money we win and don't lose it by using it to gamble again. Indeed, it is normal for us to use the money to gamble for several rounds. Still, we must remember that when we decide to continue gambling, we must be prepared for all the consequences, and if we lose, we can accept it well, and there will be no disappointment, which is excessive. We are the ones who choose to decide to continue gambling, so we are the ones who have to be able to bear it if we lose. Don't blame the casino for taking our winnings because the casino doesn't tell us to continue gambling, but we are greedy and want to get another win.
1507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: October 25, 2023, 03:33:48 PM
Professional intervention isn't really cheap. You will hardly find a low cost therapy nowadays because as you mentioned, it really comes with a price for every session. It isn't a one time payment thing because the severity of the addiction from one person to another varies as well. With this, there are different treatments and approaches to be done for them to recover and regain their lives, and it will really cost money especially for the facilities, utilities, and the professional fee itself.

This is why it's important to prevent addiction as long as it can still be prevented because it has a lot of repercussions in the long run if it weren't treated immediately. You will be lucky if you have a good public health service in your area that could provide a low cost or even free rehabilitation and treatment of addiction.
If the treatment costs a lot of money, the people who help the gambling addict need to look for alternative treatments that can help cure the gambling addict so they can start healing therapy. Maybe these people can look for information elsewhere or perhaps they can contact a gambling addiction consultation agency so they can be directed where to go. People often experience difficulties regarding costs, and this is why there needs to be assistance from the government to be able to provide rehabilitation places for gambling, alcohol, and drug addicts.

This is to reduce costs incurred by the victim's family and can also immediately help gambling addicts or others to get treatment. The government needs to provide support to these gambling addicts and other addicts because they deserve a second chance and to be able to start a new life.
1508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: October 25, 2023, 03:11:57 PM
New gamblers have very little understanding of the market and usually become greedy after a win. In order to get more he starts gambling recklessly which turns into addiction and loses everything most of the time is passed by gambling or thinking about gambling. Ready to make big bets day in and day out addictive gambling is the creation of an impossible and uncontrollable need in the mind for gambling. It is very difficult to keep that need unfulfilled this need cannot be controlled in any way. The addicted person wants to satisfy those needs at any cost and gambles that lead to their destruction.
It can also happen to gamblers who already have experience because greed can come to all gamblers, especially those who cannot control themselves well while they are gambling. They don't think about how to anticipate a lot of losses because their goal has changed from seeking pleasure to wanting to win even though they have won before. This is what we must avoid so that we don't experience the same thing as them. We must still be aware that when we win, it is a bonus, and we cannot expect to get that bonus as often as possible. If we don't comply, we will most likely experience a lot of losses.
1509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which games offer the best chance of a big win? on: October 25, 2023, 02:54:17 PM
~snip~
Yes, the money thing is a fact, the more money we have available to be willing to lose, then we continue playing, but only under that motto, with money willing to lose, there is no other way, to play taking other things into consideration, well, no. The only thing to recommend, you could say that when we are in a casino the most likely thing we have is to lose, but for obvious reasons, which we all know, such as the house advantage, that playing long term can bring many losses, That is what you should know about a casino, in this order of things things can be done so that anyone can have access to things so that they are less likely to lose.

Based on all this we can do many things, when we enter a casino we don't intend to win, because that is a thought that absolutely everyone wants to do and achieve, for me what can be taken into consideration is that basically they can bet and have good profits but with game sessions where you have a profit, wait until the next day, and play, because if we do it too often it can lead to a certain loss.

The games that can offer very big ways to win are many, I prefer to use poker, dice, but you have to be very careful, black jack for me is a great option, of course there are some that give themselves to chance and it could be said that the Things can become evident when playing games that have a stake, among them are scams, yes, it is true that when small bets are made these can go much higher or multiply a lot, but they are also a double weapon. edge because obviously you can win a lot, but you can also lose a lot or even everything, so that's what I mean, you have to be very careful, things like that when they are games like that it's easy to lose, that's why it's good. budget for playing is ideal and makes the difference.
Therein lies the self-control you have learned previously so that you are not greedy and only chase more wins. You can gamble in many gambling games and will think that dice, poker or blackjack are games that can give you big wins. Well, that might be true if you have the skills to play it, but we know that not many people are truly experts at playing it, and there are still more people who can't master skill-based games because they can't learn them continuously. Their losses will only get bigger if they cannot stop themselves from gambling and continue gambling because they want to win or recover their losses. You cannot challenge the casino because the casino owns the business, but even so, you can still win some money from the casino, and the casino will allow you to get that money.

And when you intend to win, you will encounter difficulties that will become bigger without you realizing it because it's not just you who wants victory, but everyone wants it too. And when that happens, it's just luck that will choose the winner, and only worthy gamblers can get it while everyone else, including you, will only experience defeat. And that makes most gamblers become emotional and choose to continue gambling to recover their losses.

So if you are confident in your abilities, maybe you can find a gambling game that is suitable for you, which can give you a win, but remember that other people also want to win, so you won't always be able to win continuously. The best thing is that you have to make a budget for gambling so that you don't exceed your limits because if you exceed your limits, it will be the beginning of your bankruptcy in gambling. And you should bet with small bets so that you don't lose a large amount of money.
1510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: October 25, 2023, 02:24:33 PM
As some others have said, most successful gamblers play using their skills to make a living. For them, it is likely that they will continue to be gamblers because they can only generate income from gambling by using their abilities.
However, such gamblers are very rare because they often play and play very carefully and are supported by their abilities, and maybe other people will judge it as an addiction. And in fact they also consider gambling as their job just like any other job, and they are successful because they can generate income from gambling and not just anyone.

Is a rare occasion that gambler can manage to win over the casino but likewise, with the combination of skills and good management of
both time and money, chances of winning are good.

It's just another way of taking your edge and executing that opportunity to become favorable to you.

I think by chance it can happen if control and good management can be executed perfectly, though just the same, it's a rare kind of
situation and not everyone can have this kind of mindset during the time they are playing against the house.
Most gamblers will only become addicted to gambling when they gamble without self-control, skills, and good management abilities because to become a successful gambler requires many more things that must be trained continuously. If a gambler can train until they have abilities beyond most gamblers, that gambler can use gambling as a way to make money. Of course, they will not experience gambling addiction like other gamblers experience. I agree that such gamblers are very rare to find, and if they do exist, they probably won't tell anyone because they would rather hide it from others.
1511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why gambling beginners must not joke with casino announcement on: October 25, 2023, 01:18:53 PM
It all depends on the player!  This is absolutely true! 
However, players are very different.  Someone visited the casino website for the first time and didn’t even read the ToS.  And another player has already played in 10 casinos and has experience in receiving his winninngs.  I think that mostly it is players with no experience at all and even without basic knowledge who most often find themselves in situations where they begin to think that the casino is deceiving them.  And that these casinos are fraudulent.  Several times on our forum I read such posts from indignant users who were allegedly deceived by the casino.  But when such users realize their mistake and casino representatives publicly explain to them the course of events when playing such an inexperienced player, then usually this issue ceases to be relevant. 
I think that 95% of all reviews with claims against casinos and accusations of fraud are exactly like this.
That's why it's useful to read the ToS of each casino because the rules will vary from one casino to another. And novice gamblers must also understand all the rules to understand the meaning of the casino rules. If they need help understanding it, they can ask the support service, which is always ready 24/7 to help those who need clarification or need help knowing. The novice gambler is just too lazy to read the ToS and just wants to immediately register himself and start depositing his money and immediately start gambling. If they gamble at a shady casino, they will only experience fraud from the casino, but if they gamble at a trusted casino, they will not experience any problems. If there is a misunderstanding, the casino will understand it, and perhaps the novice gambler will receive compensation from the casino as a small gift for the novice gambler.

Gambling might give us a big chance of winning as well as having a big chance of losing. Considering it as a full time job is a big NO. Making money as a professional gambler is feasible but it is not easy because there are a lot of things that you need to learn and avoid. Others will say that this is their primary source of income but do you think It's right? I mean, It is not a reliable way of earning money, unless you are one of the casino dealers or Influencers/Freelancers who advertise gambling on different social media sites.
Indeed, gambling gives us the opportunity to win big, but we also have to realize that we can't always win big because other people also want the same thing. We must know that a gambler will find it difficult to make money from gambling, and if he tries hard to win, it does not guarantee that he can win easily. He can experience even bigger losses if he doesn't know when to stop, and this is mostly what happens to gamblers, so they will only lose more money. We cannot rely on gambling to make money because gambling is not a job in general. Gambling is just entertainment that we can use in our activities or free time. But we can't use it as a place to make money because we might regret it later.

The gambler with huge experience become the master in the gambling,So they can win the game with their experience.The experienced gambler will do the gambling with the time gap,So they won’t get anger on the loss.The emotion also can be managed by the time gap in the gambling.The gap in the gambling games will help to reduce the number of losses in the game.If the gambler loss 10-20 games in a row,it maybe the big loss for them.So they started to target the loss in the next game of the gambling.The targeting loss will make the gambler to get addicted in the gambling.This targeting loss will surely increases the loss money in gambling.
Experienced gamblers can control themselves better than most gamblers because they have more experience and also have other abilities needed to gamble. They can also control their emotions while gambling so that it doesn't have much impact on them. They may lose, but they don't lose as much as other gamblers because, with their experience and ability, they can avoid losing a lot. They also will not aim for more wins because they understand when to stop gambling and do not force their desire to continue gambling. And after they succeed in winning the gambling, they will immediately stop gambling because that is the best they can do to avoid problems later.

~snip~
Dont make yourself at practice because if we do speak about practice then you would really be needing to commit lots of mistakes before you would really be able to know on what you should gonna do.
Speaking about nice hits then its not something that you should be having in mind but rather you should really be that putting focus into the capital that you do have.If you are intending to make use of those money to
entertain yourself then its a good behavior or mindset but if you are chasing up something like those winning or profit then this would really be creating such desperation on which this is something not really that recommended on doing so. Its always been that ideal to set up those limits for yourself and never intend to go beyond those lines.

Secure winnings and calling it a day on your gambling activity is something that wise to be done but unfortunately only a few could really be having that kind of control towards themselves
and most likely people will really be continuing on playing gambling just because they have that kind of thinking that if they do able to make some wins then they could
possibly be able to make more on playing further on which this had been a common thing for most of us.
We don't force ourselves to practice, but that's what we have to do so we can avoid the mistakes we often make. It is difficult and takes practice, but the results will not lie to those who do it regularly for their own good. Moreover, they experience difficulties in achieving what they want. By continuing to practice their skills, it may not take them long to master it, which will give them good results. If they really intend to get pleasure from gambling, they also have to realize that they don't need to reach X amount to be able to stop because, in gambling, there will be difficulties that they encounter.

And we also have to realize that only a few people can win, especially if it's a big win, so we don't need to chase that win. We should focus on learning self-control so that we don't get into any problems from gambling than if we chase victory but get into trouble. We need to be wise when gambling and know when to stop gambling before all the money is gone. And even though we can not achieve our winning target for that day, we can still stop gambling easily because we know we can gamble again tomorrow.
1514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: October 25, 2023, 11:56:47 AM
~snip~
Yes, even if they really realize and want to change for the better, but sometimes it is not uncommon for those who are very easy to express but not at all with action as an impetus to realize their changes and I say not a few gamblers like that, they will say "yes I will change" when they are experiencing defeat and running out of money, the fact is that if one day they already have money then very few people are able to resist the temptation of gambling and they will return to gambling with the same expectations as before.

Gambling addiction will not always be easy to identify even by themselves, because this is very much related to the subconscious, as you said one of the consequences is because they are too engrossed in gambling so that their first priority is only pleasure and victory. Usually they will only realize when they have completely run out of everything or experience the biggest impact of gambling itself, of course in terms of finances that will continue to dominate.
If they just say, "yes, I will change," but don't take real action, it won't work for them because they will continue gambling without any desire to really change or at least reduce their gambling activities. They will continue to gamble without remembering the words they said before that they wanted to make changes. They still can't resist the temptations that come their way and instead, try to take promotions or visit casinos more often than before. That is a mistake they made because that way, they will never change for the better but might change to become worse than before. We who have seen their changes for the worse also cannot do anything because it is their choice, but we must not just leave them because maybe later they will need our help.

Maybe we can only see if they return to gambling more often than before, which is considered a gambling addiction. Still, we cannot yet know whether this is a serious gambling addiction or whether it is just the beginning of a gambling addiction. We have to research or check how high the level of gambling addiction is in their return to the casino. They should be able to see the level of their gambling addiction and tell us so that we can find out and find a solution for them. Often, we have difficulty approaching people who have experienced gambling addiction because many of them close themselves off from other people and say that they are fine.

~snip~
Don't even admit that they have the problem until they see that they already have an empty savings account and worse, they already loan a lot and are unable to pay their debt. I can see that the first thing to move forward and forget about gambling is your willingness to admit that you are already engaged too much and you really need help to quit away from this activity.

There are people who are willing to help. If you are ready to submit yourself and listen, then follow their advice. It's up to you and that willingness to achieve such a goal.
If they realize that they are experiencing more losses than wins, it could be a sign that they should no longer use gambling. But they need to check how much money they have but continue to use the money to gamble. Moreover, if they borrow money from other people when they lose, they have to pay back the loan, and if they don't have the money, that means new problems for them. If only they would listen to our advice to reduce their gambling, maybe they could start to avoid gambling and reduce their time gambling so they can use their time to do other things.
1515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 24, 2023, 10:27:24 PM
What I can say to people who don't have enough money but still continue to gamble, I don't think it's entertainment for them anymore, they seem to think that gambling money is easier as long as they win.
We wouldn't blame most people who gambles with the little money they have, perhaps they could be looking for a way to have there money multiply instead of just using the money for something were as they have no other means of getting it back, so most of them will use the little money they have and gamble with the believe that they will make some winings and from there they can be able to diversify some of the money to other things.

So gambling without enough money is totally depends on the gamblers motive either to try if he could be able to top the money by wining or the ignorance caused by addition to continue gambling even if it cost them everything.
Yes, we can't blame those who still want to gamble, whatever their reasons, because it is their money that they can use for anything. But they should think long before deciding to use gambling as entertainment or a place to make money because gambling has negative influences many people have felt. If they can keep themselves from being affected by those negative influences, they will be fine, and nothing will happen to them. But if not, they will experience one by one that will become bigger, so they will not be able to see it because they can become addicted to gambling if they do not have clear boundaries in gambling. And because many people are addicted to gambling, they must always be careful when gambling so that they can avoid its negative effects.
1516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling Generally An Illicit Activity? on: October 24, 2023, 10:10:45 PM
Gambling is an activity that provides pleasure, but certain people use gambling as a place to launder money from their illegal activities. This makes the government try to control casinos so they are not used for illegal activities. The government also asked casinos to implement policies to carry out KYC on their members, including those suspected of carrying out illegal activities.

With the rise of this illegal activity and the use of gambling, the government is increasingly wary of money laundering, which can occur in many activities, including gambling. However, gambling is not an illicit activity because some countries allow gambling, and there are no money laundering activities in those casinos because of government inspections.

It is only a professional gambler who has taken on gambling as a career that would keep records. For me I think the reason why such a person would keep record is one to keep track of their profits and losses, for tax purposes, and maybe any other reason. Regular gamblers like you and I do not keep any record because we see no importance in doing so. But we will not fail to recall our losses and wins if there is ever a need for that during a conversation.
If yes, we can see how much money we make from gambling. And that should make us think about what we should do in gambling. Will we continue gambling but try to reduce the amount of money so as not to experience more losses or should we stop gambling because we will lose more? Everything will be a lesson for us to return to our original goal of gambling, where we gamble just to get pleasure. And when we get that pleasure, we must be able to stop before we lose control of ourselves in gambling.

They did actually because why did they be able to go to rehab? or seek a professional help if they can't? It was only a little late but this is always the case that happens. I guess it was still better than not changing at all. If our goal is to get the jackpot and we luckily get it, maybe we can now lower our temper.

That way, we will never be screwed again by gambling. Or if we are worrying that it will still occur, it's also a good idea to quit it either for temporarily or permanently. Gambling or the casino is good at playing with our emotions but there is no way they can tricked me again. I already learned a lot. Now, I'm only reaping the benefits.
If they hit the jackpot, they must immediately stop, withdraw their winnings, and leave the casino. But what happens is that they increasingly want to get the next win, where it will take work to get the jackpot again. And that will only make them greedy because they want more. They should know that getting a win or jackpot requires great luck, and when they get it, they must be able to stop themselves from continuing to play for the next round.

If they keep coming back a few days later and become even more eager to get the jackpot, and some even become addicted to gambling, it won't work as entertainment. They need help to cure their gambling addiction so they no longer think about gambling.

Since I only play on lottery games in an outlet, I have never experience something like that before but if by any chance had to play such game I think winning ×5 would be enough. If I lose ×3 that would be my limit and I had to take a break and then return another day.

Good for you for having that kind of self-control, Also if you want to consider playing in a casino, always set a time limit, enough budget, and have a goal in mind. It's quite difficult to leave while you're ahead because you want to avoid losing your winnings, I advise that once you win big, cash out and leave because there's a chance that casinos will want to keep you playing after you win so that they have a chance to win their money back. This is an individual decision, knowing when to walk away is the hardest part for most people.
Not many people can have that kind of control and must continue to practice it until they can really master it so that they will have no difficulty saying that he has had enough gambling, and now they have to stop gambling. We have to manage our gambling time so that we don't suffer many losses because we gamble using money, whereas many of us use money for our families. It is true that we must always limit the use of money for gambling and how long we gamble so that our minds will not think about gambling and the wins or losses we experience. We should start using these limits rather than later regretting that we have become addicted to gambling.

We have a different hobbies and some of those hobbies are money generating hobbies which some of us can consider as investment, hobby is the secondary purpose. Depending on how financial literate you are, you can use your credit card to for good. As long as you know that you will not be in debt by using it or for short you are responsible in using your credit card, there's no harm in it. Having control on what or where to spend it is essential in having those. I believe that having a credit card is a huge responsibility since it can be a burden to you if you use it in a wrong way. My conclusion is credit card shouldn't be used on gambling, since just by using it there means you are not responsible.

I agree that as long as you're responsible in using your credit cards it won't be harmful to you. Although unfortunately, most of the time people misuse credit cards because they weren't knowledgeable enough about financial literacy. In the end, instead of being of help, it becomes a burden because pile of debts accumulate over and over with its interest on top of it, resulting to having so many financial obligations to fulfill by its due date or even past its due date.

Credit cards are really helpful because one can take advantage of such when things go tight and you can even earn rewards for frequent usage. Sure, it can be used to gambling too to finance the bets and plays. Although it's just risky since some people becomes addicted, so I'm not really fan of its usage in gambling. But it's just me. As long as there will be casinos and gambling websites that will accept such, then good for the gamblers who rely on using their credit cards. What's important is that they will pay on time and fulfill their dues.
The point is how we are responsible with what we use. When it comes to using a credit card, we are responsible for our use and don't use it carelessly because we can quickly swipe a credit card to buy something we want or use it for gambling. Having a credit card is a convenience for people. Still, if they don't realize that behind it all, there is a burden of responsibility that we have to overcome, we might not use credit cards well. And that will cause difficulties at the end of the month because we have to pay many bills.

But if we can use a credit card well, we will get benefits from the credit card because we can buy something first without using our money even though we have to pay the bill at the end of the month. But we will not use credit cards incorrectly because we can be responsible for the credit card.
