If your goal is to have fun, then it's best for you. However, if you want to profit, then I would say this is not good for you as it has a house edge. I mean, even if the bonus are very attractive, you still lose. Bonus are to entice gamblers, but they don't give money, they know that once you play the edge is still on them, so at the end of the day you'll lose. Slots and other online gambling games with house edge will make you lose in the long run, that''s what house edge can do.
That's true, if the purpose of the gambling you do is for fun, maybe the gambling you do won't cause problems. It's just that for many people who gamble, their main goal is to make a profit or to win, because in my opinion that is the goal of most gamblers. It is very rare that there are gamblers who gamble just for fun, with everything being fine, people who gamble for fun I am sure they have good self-control when gambling.
I agree with you that the bonuses available in gambling are very attractive so many people also want them because apart from winning, the bonus they are looking for is also something they want, but sometimes getting the bonus is not what it should or should be, sometimes when we use big bets and get bonuses but the bonuses are not much or are not commensurate with the amount of bets made, it is very annoying, but it is true that because of the definite home advantage, however the gambling carried out by those of us who are just ordinary players is likely to end in just defeat.

Self management and self discipline matters a lot for a man with his family, so that he can use his cash inflow properly by assigning only little amount of his monthly income on gamble. This is why as a family man, you need to put your family first before your own personal expenses to avoid problems.

Gambling should be done with caution to avoid overdoing it, so that it does not have side effect on you and your family, which will lead to divorce because of addiction. One should only use the amount of money that he can afford to lose, so that it will not affect him emotionally, to the extend of using all the money in the house for gambling because he is busy chasing his losses.
I agree with that, family is indeed an important thing in life, of course if we already have a family we must be able to prioritize family. when we have income, of course we have to be able to prioritize family and basic needs, and after that, only our own needs, such as wanting to buy what we want or gambling, many families divorce because of financial problems where the head of the family only prioritizes gambling, and that's Of course it is a problem, if we are married but always prioritize gambling then the destruction of the relationship will be at stake.
That's right, gambling should be done in moderation, not overdone. Balancing ourselves with our preferences is important, if we really like gambling then we must be able to balance our preferences with our needs, be able to differentiate between what is important and what is not so important. Don't let us gamble excessively, such as using large amounts of money just for gambling but don't think about our needs.

The best time to gamble is actually not when you have free time, but when you are in a good mood. You will not enjoy this game when you are not in a good mood, you are angry, tired, and such. If you force yourself to play, then it will only increase your chances of losing instead of enjoying it.

Many gamblers make wrong decisions when they are not feeling well. They are influenced by anger or something so they tend not to consider risks better. I'm trying to understand it from an experiential perspective, so I think the best time to enjoy this game is when you're in a good mood. It's up to you how you understand what I mean, but that's the experience I got.
That makes sense, I think mood also influences the game, when we gamble of course we have to be in a calm state of mind. Moreover, gambling when you are in a bad mood can actually make the gambling you do bad, with a greater chance of losing and in addition to being in a bad mood, it is possible for emotions to explode, and it is possible for bad emotions to arise. will make everything messy. Of course, gambling that is done with emotion will not be good.
Problems with gambling occur due to lack of self-control when gambling or because you are in a bad mood. When there is no self-control when gambling, decisions sometimes often occur but are not considered first, which makes everything messy, even though to avoid big losses in gambling we must be able to consider everything we will do, including taking action when gambling. . Many people make decisions without considering it first, resulting in quite serious problems.

Quote from: swogerino
That is the most interesting fight in the Serie A as everything has already settled in other fights with Inter winning the title and Juventus being in the second place,not much to follow despite the draw of Inter against Napoli in this last encounter during the weekend.

I think that Bologna has been playing well compared to Roma winning games more convincingly and by scoring many goals so for me would be a shame if Bologna loses the game against Roma.

Inter has fought a good fight to achieved a huge amount of points in the Italian league competition, because they really prepared well to fight any teams that they are going to face in this season and they have defeated many teams to acquired the first position. Juventus that was creating pressure on Inter from the beginning of this tournament, they have lose some points that made Inter to gap them very well and it will be difficult for such pressure to be among Inter and Juventus again. Bologna has played well in this season to defeated some teams to get to where they are right now, I believe they will defeat Roma to achieve another points again.
Juventus lost their balance so they can no longer put pressure on Inter Milan like at the start of the season and even now they have to lose their position in second place because in the last 3 matches they couldn't win and that gave Ac Milan the opportunity to overtake them. and AC Milan managed to take advantage of that very well.
Actually, things like this are what a team is worried about, yes, they will experience a decline at the end of the season and that will make them unable to compete anymore. Juventus experienced this this season which made them have to give up the title this season. However, they also still have to focus, because even though they cannot become champions, at least they can be in the top 4 of the standings at the end of the season and win a ticket to go to the Champions League next season. Their current position is not completely safe, so they have to keep giving their best, especially to win again after they failed to get it in the last few matches. I'm sure they can secure their position in the top 4 of the standings.

Arsenal will not come to Etihad stadium to lose so to get three points from Arsenal, Manchester City will actually fight hard to beat a tough opponent.
I don't know whether this match will be like the Man United and Liverpool match or not, but what is clear is that this is a life and death match between the two clubs, so it is not surprising that both of them are guaranteed to sell and buy attacks in this match, plus these two clubs are really in  busy with the Champions League and concentration will be broken and stamina will be drained by this match. Arsenal must focus on Bayer Munich and Man City must also focus on facing Real Madrid, so in my opinion the match on the 31st will be a crucial match for both  Man City and Arsenal clubs, both managers have worked together as tacticians, so it is not surprising that Arsenal and Man City will apply the same strategy as both of them.

Based on the schedule they have, no team has an advantage because they both have busy schedules. You are right, they must be able to play as well as possible in the Premier League and also in the Champions League. With the performance of the two teams not being much different, it is certain that this will be a very interesting match, unless one of them experiences bad luck in this match.
Manchester City will act as hosts in the match, this is an advantage for them. However, Arsenal also came with a mission to win in this match, they also definitely don't want to lose which will take them away from competing for the title this season. You are right, for both Manchester City and Arsenal, this match will be a match of life and death, because whoever wins will be closer to the championship ladder, and whoever loses will be further away from the championship ladder. So there is no reason for them not to play all out in a very decisive match like this, they must not think about other things and must focus on the match.

Once again we will focus on the match between Real Madrid vs Manchester City, we consider this match to be the final match which took place in the quarter-finals, yes this is a too early final. Previously, we were very excited to wait for them to face each other in the final match, but that can't happen again, because again and again they have to face each other in the quarter-finals, this is the same as last season. Last season Manchester City beat Real Madrid, will Real Madrid get their revenge this season? something that has been eagerly awaited.
I will not doubt that this match will be very interesting, the competitive atmosphere will be hot because one team is the team that has won the most titles, while the other team is the team that has the status of defending champion. If you look at the odds given by the bookie, Manchester City appears as the favorite to advance to the next round, but you also need to remember that the team they will face is a team that has a very strong mentality, and they already felt that when they had to make a comeback. by Real Madrid in the previous 2 seasons.

Moreover, Barcelona's performance this season has been less stable compared to Atletico, but now everything has changed and the additional 3 points have put Barcelona in second place in the standings. I think Atletico must know that all teams are the same and must try to win and not just focus too much on their local rivals like Real Madrid. The additional 3 points are important to maintain stability and also create a safe position in top competition. Wink

I thought Atletico Madrid could make things difficult for Barcelona, but I was wrong. In fact I think like you, because they concede the ball too easily and it looks weak like in your picture. It seems Madrid have to learn a lot from Barcelona so they can make Atletico like a docile cat. It seems that Jao Felix became Barcelona's differentiating actor, with his anger he worked hard to make Simeone feel guilty about letting go.
Almost everyone said that this would most likely be a difficult match for both teams, but at the same time almost all of the predictions we made did not come true. Barcelona succeeded in making Atletico Madrid unable to do anything in this match, and Atletico Madrid had to be satisfied with accepting the fact that they had to lose 0-3 to their guests in this match.
Even if we look at the red card received by Atletico Madrid, it happened at the end of the match, so there is no other reason why Atletico Madrid lost this match other than they didn't play optimally or they didn't lose in this match. Looking at the opportunities available, Atletico Madrid actually also had several opportunities, but the problem was that they were not very effective in taking advantage of the opportunities they got. On the other hand, Barcelona can take advantage of every opportunity they get into a goal and make them smile because they took home 3 points from this match. This result is good for them because they can return to second place in the standings.

Cristiano Ronaldo have been over 39 years old indeed his physical on the top level performance but I doubt any top European teams want to sign him how difficult for paying his much salary payment. I don't think any new rumor with top european teams want to sign him exactly he still left one year contract with Al Nassr and he was happy with current team right now and adopted well without get any problem yet.
Chelsea rumor with transfer players just link for signing Victor Osimhen and the management will work hard how to reach agreement deal with Napoli the best or ideal fee transfer, I think Cristiano Ronaldo keep become an icon for Saudi Arabia how to make their domestic league become popular and Al Nassr will extend his contract after expiring next season.
Yes, I also haven't heard anything about rumors that he will return to Europe at the age of 40. Indeed, he is still fit as we can see, but I don't know when he is in a more competitive league whether he will be able to compete with younger players or not, especially in the Premier League where we know the competition there is very tight. It requires all the fitness that a player must have, one of which is speed, and now Cristiano Ronaldo is not as fast as when he was young. it would be a very risky thing if he returned to competitive competition, even though he could still show his best performance.
He still has a contract with AL Nassr, and I think Al Nassr will probably offer him a contract extension, because his performance with Al Nassr is very good and even now he is the top scorer there. So, with all considerations, Al Nassr is still very capable of utilizing his abilities for at least the next 2 seasons, especially since he has also found a good game and cooperation with Mane and Talisca on Al Nassr's front line.

If I look at the draw results, I am quite curious about the results of the match between Benfica vs Marseille. Actually overall Benfica is still better but for now I think it will be a fairly even match. I'm sure Benfica won't be able to win easily against Marseille because this French team has found their game a little better. Having experienced a decline since the start of the season and changing coaches has finally made Marseille find its true form and in front of Benfica, I think they will put up fierce resistance.

The first leg of the match took place at Benfica's home ground and as hosts, the Portuguese team deserves to be favored and if they can win with a big score, it is likely that they will have no trouble visiting Marseille in the second leg. On the other hand, if Marseille can hold on to a draw in the first leg, they have a big chance of getting rid of Benfica in the quarterfinals. This is just my opinion, what do you think about this match going forward?
I think this match is quite balanced, it's just that I agree Benfica are a little more favored, especially in this first leg because they will play as hosts. They can use their status as hosts to win this match, so that when they do the second leg they can be a little more comfortable because they only need to maintain their advantage. I'm not making either of them favorites in the Europa League this season, although they have a chance, but their chances will not be greater than the teams that are now widely favored.
I want to see what Benfica can do in the first leg, because they have the advantage as I said before. But they also still have to be wary of Marseille who also come not to lose. Marseille must have come with at least a draw which will give them an advantage in the second leg. No team can be underestimated, especially they will do 2 matches that could be a surprise display from each team. Both Benfica and Marseille must be able to perform well if they still want to be in the Europa League for the next round.

Montpellier vs PSG

PSG are expecting the 3 points tonight even though they are playing at Stade de la Mosson it doesn't matter, Montpellier can withstand pressure that will come from PSG.

The way the match ended was actually funny seeing how the goals was coming as if they were playing with teenagers, although I never realized that PSG will score them this much because at first the match was actually going well for Montpellier because right after PSG score them the first two goals before they could get to the end of the first half they had already equalize the goal, so at that points I was thinking that even if PSG win them but the goals will not be much but I didn't know that PSG has a big thing install for them on the second half by beating Montpellier 6:2 and even Mbappe manage to get his hard-trick
This was a very comfortable win for Paris Saint Germain, and it was natural because the opponents they faced were far below them. They don't miss many opportunities, and they can almost always turn the opportunities they get into goals. In fact, what surprised me was that Montpellier was able to score 2 goals in this match, even though it was not something commensurate with the goals scored against them.
This result made them win again after they could only draw in the last 3 matches. However, when we talk about Paris Saint Germain in Ligue 1, it's like talking about this competition as belonging to them. That happened because they were very superior in Ligue 1, almost no team could compete with them. No team has the same quality as them so that means they can comfortably continue to dominate Ligue 1 without any obstacles that can stop them. But for me that doesn't satisfy me, because they also can't compete in European competitions. It would be amazing if they could also do it in European competitions like the Champions League.

If she loses at gambling, maybe I will act normal as if nothing happened, because I expected it would happen. But when she loses and spends all our family savings, maybe I will be very angry with her, but not to the point where I will divorce her - because after all she is my wife and whatever happens I have to accept that fact, because I made a promise at the altar to love her as she is. But maybe I'll teach her a lesson by not giving her access to our savings anymore and making every effort possible so that she doesn't get involved in gambling again.
not just pretending or pretending, in my opinion we should act normally when the gambling we do ends in defeat, because in my opinion losing at gambling is something that is certain to happen, even if we think hard about it. It won't change the situation, in fact, in my opinion, if we question the losses that occur, it will likely trigger our own emotions and cause excessive gambling with thoughts such as wanting to recover losses, even though this is not recommended.
but if he gambles excessively to the point of spending his savings then I will scold him, because in my opinion it is a stupid act, why should he spend a lot of money on gambling, if that is not the right way to make money. To make money, of course we have to work because it is a necessity, rather than hoping for gambling where it is not clear that we will win. I agree with you, maybe I will also limit him from getting involved in excessive gambling again.
632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: March 18, 2024, 07:58:38 AM
When it comes to gambling addiction,  there is no limit to how far one can go and that is the reason you see some gambling addicts going as far as taking loan just to gamble with and with the hope that they will win and there after recover.

Addiction is a high pressure thing that put the gambler on the higher risk of wanting to earn more by risking all, this is why we always preach that gamblers should take gambli6as an entertaining and fun and not with the aim to hit a jackpot or trying make money off it at any time, because trying to do so you may be putting your money at risk and also making you to become addicted to gambling.
Indeed, there are no restrictions on gambling because it depends on us ourselves who gamble, but in my opinion, having limits on gambling is a must. because having these limits will help reduce or prevent major losses. By having limits on gambling, it will be safely controlled, there will be no big losses such as excessive deposits. Taking out a loan to gamble is wrong, and maybe gamblers do that because they have no limits in their gambling.
That's right, even if they become addicted, it can make them even bolder in carrying out big-risk actions which can clearly harm themselves. It is really not recommended to gamble by chasing wins or jackpots, because that will only make us lose more money. What you said is true is that gambling should be done just for fun, because if the motive is different then the results and what will happen will be different. in the future.
633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: March 18, 2024, 07:34:37 AM
You have to do this by adjusting your abilities, because if you do it too much, it will only make your mind confused, maybe what will happen is pressure that we cannot accept, which can trigger stress. Of course, excessive pressure will affect your mental health. In my opinion, risking 1% on gambling will not be a problem if we can control ourselves well, because if we cannot control ourselves well then everything is the same, the possibility that will happen is that we gamble again after experiencing defeat.
I agree with you, gambling is not a competition and is not a way to make money for sure, gambling is just a game which has a bad impact if we respond to it wrongly, like responding to it is the same as a means of making money for sure, of course if that's the case what will happen is losing a lot just money and it affects our mentality. There are also many cases of people committing suicide due to excessive stress due to excessive gambling.
Your comment about altering abilities is spot-on. The key is profound comprehension of one's limits and talents, not just adjustment. Do you think pushing oneself mentally causes chaos and confusion? Balance is what the mind, a magnificently intricate organism, needs, not overwhelming waves of excess pressure that cause stress and despair

Gambling is a mirage that too many chase into the emptiness. Your 1% risk rule? It's a razor's edge between control and disaster. The key is self-control, which many struggle with because the pleasure of the risk often overshadows the reality of loss and emotional suffering

The sadness of individuals forced to give up on lost wagers serves as a sharp reminder of the worst consequences of gambling. More than money is lost; lives and potential are destroyed. Thus, the call to arms is awareness and accountability, to see gambling as a mental health risk as well as a financial risk
Obviously forcing yourself to gamble isn't a good thing, right?
Is forcing yourself to continue gambling good, friend?
I don't think so, indeed we have to have a balance, in gambling of course this is necessary, we have to be able to balance the time for gambling and the budget for gambling, because of course that will help us avoid things we don't want, such as big losses. , because many people gamble and experience big losses, they gamble without having set limits.
you mentioned the key is deep understanding, and then you said the key is self-control. In my opinion, just saying self-control says it all. What is clear is that we should not gamble excessively, bet according to our abilities. do not gamble beyond our means, because it will be a disaster. Don't let us gamble too much so that we experience our own losses.

Aside from signature campaign, yes there is so many other ways to promote a casino like using the Instagram advert and order social media platform but the most effective for me in media there is some gaming apps. They also help sometimes when playing a game like the dice it pop out as an ad and it will really go into peoples mind because each time people are playing game they see it as gamble. It’s not actually the same but game , a gamble and normal game to most people playing some online games can actually interested in your adds, i’m sometimes he may not just use any influencer or a celebrity or you need to do is to create a video. That is very quality, Let it be a video that shows the casino promotion by yourself,You can use your face and do it but make sure you promote it properly.
In my opinion, this has become a certain thing, with the internet now becoming more and more advanced, of course companies will definitely make the best use of this, as you said, by placing advertisements on Instagram or other things. and with that, of course they will also place tempting advertisements such as holding bonuses or promotions with the aim of attracting many people to gamble at their new casino. and I'm sure one way to do this is to take advantage of internet developments.
Now I often see a lot of people gambling by broadcasting live broadcasts, and I often see them always getting big wins, maybe that's because they collaborate with a gambling company, because it's impossible for them to win easily if they don't cooperate with the company. gambling. just like the influencers who helped advertise his new casino. Their goal is profit so they will definitely do anything to make a profit, even by placing advertisements they will definitely spend some money. However, even so, it is certain that in the short term you will be able to get back the money spent on placing the advertisement.

Choosing the most convenient and enjoyable time to engage in the activity is a wise act of gamblers. Indeed, the experience of gambling can vary greatly depending on factors such as timing, mood, and personal circumstances. Gambling serves as a form of entertainment and relaxation that provides an opportunity to unwind and enjoy some leisure time. Selecting a time when they feel most comfortable and relaxed can fully immerse themselves in the experience and savor every moment of it.

Taking the time to gamble when you feel mentally prepared and able to think clearly can enhance the enjoyment of the activity. Being able to make rational decisions and fully engage with the game can contribute to a more positive and fulfilling gambling experience. Some may prefer to gamble quickly or impulsively, and others may derive greater satisfaction from taking their time and savoring the experience. The choice of when and how to gamble is a personal one, and what matters most is that individuals approach the activity with mindfulness and moderation, ensuring that it remains a source of enjoyment rather than a source of stress or hardship.
For wise gamblers, in my opinion, they can manage everything well, can balance their time, budget and attitude towards the gambling they do. As you said, choosing the right or comfortable time is a wise way to gamble. In my opinion, gambling must be done at the right time, such as in our free time, because gambling must be played and enjoyed well, don't let gambling mess up our emotions, because gambling done with emotions is certainly not something that is wrong. Good.
I agree with you that thinking clearly can increase the enjoyment of gambling, with clear thinking I also think gambling will run well, with many cases of problematic gambling perhaps it is because they do it with confused thinking, such as being too ambitious in pursuing victory, so it actually traps them themselves. we must do gambling properly as true entertainment as you say, not as a source of stress and problems.
636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: March 17, 2024, 05:01:31 PM
You are completely correct; heated emotions can lead to rash actions and irrational choices. When we are emotional, our prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making, may become less active. This makes it difficult for us to consider the ramifications of our actions and make sound decisions.
To keep our emotions from clouding our judgment, we might take a step back and try to examine the matter objectively. This is known as "emotional distancing," and it can help us make more sound decisions. We can also try to recognize and classify the emotions we're experiencing, which can help us understand why we're feeling this way and how it's influencing our thinking.
Finally, it can be helpful to take some time to calm down and relax before making a decision.
I agree with this, it is true that if we do something with emotions it will cause problems by making careless decisions, not considering it first. In fact, I don't think it's only in gambling, in other things it's the same even if things are not. is related to money, while gambling is clearly closely related to money, and if it is done emotionally then what will happen is a big problem such as losing all the money we have, because the urge from emotions continues to require us to gamble whether it is chasing wins or recovering losses.
If something we are doing is starting to get messy then we should just stop, before everything falls apart due to explosive emotions. However, in my opinion, not everyone can control themselves, including controlling their emotions well. There are many gamblers who cannot control themselves or their emotions, which causes large losses. It's a shame if gambling is done with emotional outbursts.

The internet is a means through which almost everyone around the world is reach via social medias and other platforms of forum like this one. New casinos market themselves through any forum, platform and forum which they are aware that they can get traffic and be able to reach a large number of audience from around the world. New casinos have different marketing strategy but I believe they uses the internet as a major source for their marketing because they believe and it it true that they can reach a good amount of audience from all over the world.
Currently, it is true that the internet is something that is quite important, even large companies and everyone spends their activities, most of which are related to the internet, and in my opinion of course this can be utilized by new casino companies, by utilizing social media networks they can put up attractive advertisements to make lots of people interested in gambling, with the fact that currently there are lots of gambling advertisements displayed on every social media, and I think almost all social media have casino gambling advertisements.
There are also many people now who gamble while broadcasting live broadcasts showing the gambling they are doing even though they are not members of the casino company, but even so, I think they have their own motives by looking for followers or making their own profit by using the referrals that have been provided. With the internet now, I think it's quite good for gambling companies to market their new casinos, because with that, I think there will be a lot of people who see it, with the fact that everyone definitely wants money that can be made quickly, but of course only people who think wrongly Only those who will gamble because they hope to make money by gambling.

I do gamble on several occasions but I don't mince my resting time with gambling I know it's not good because it's only one of many signs of gambling addiction. Never at a time should we make the mistake of giving up the time that is resourceful to our source of income to spend it on gambling as it would affect our productivity to work, perhaps also putting our job security at risk for an activity as gambling that is not reliable.

I don't like panicking while gambling because it doesn't make you stable to make better choices with your predictions in the case of sports games, and it doesn't make sense that I should not be enjoying an activity I was supposed to be enjoying just because am doing it at the wrong time and don't have much time to engage in it as should at a much free time.

We should gamble in moderation and in moderation as you do, because gambling excessively is not a good thing, especially when chasing victory, it is not recommended. There are people who gamble at the expense of part of their time, they even gamble for long sessions which is not recommended, such as gambling at work, in my opinion this should not be done, because during working hours we have to be professional with our work. which are owned.
I agree with you, basically I think gambling should be done in a relaxed manner, therefore it is better to gamble in your free time, because by enjoying gambling maybe it won't cause problems, rather than gambling with panic or fear. If you lose, it could be a potentially big problem, even though losses in gambling are certain to happen.

I myself don't think that saving is a bad thing, because it is a pretty good way of managing money. Many people save money to fulfill their desires, such as buying their dream property or gadgets and so on, and I think that's not bad, because then they have the will to try.
Meanwhile, for investment, of course we must have knowledge of aspects related to investment so that the investment made does not experience losses. because of course everyone doesn't want to experience financial losses. therefore not everyone invests. It's true that what you're doing might be better if we do it simultaneously, but make sure our finances are stable. Don't force yourself to be able to do both of these things simultaneously if your finances are unstable.
I think not all people aim to invest not because they’re not knowledgeable, but because they knew from the start that there are always high risk of losing from certain investments. There is no assurance of creating good ROI that’s why if they will only lose their money, then why do they have to risk their funds in investing when they can do all the saving and keeping a good amount consistently.

Sometimes, saving and investing do not compliment with each other. That’s why some people chose to stick to only one thing, either to focus on saving or stick to investing even without stable amount of savings.
It's true that not everyone wants to invest because there is a risk of loss, but I think this risk of loss can still be minimized by having good knowledge. Now if we have good knowledge or good skills, will we just leave it alone? I don't think so. we have to take advantage of it because there is an opportunity to make a profit. Also, if they invest, they should be able to accept the risk, because of course there is a risk in everything, it's just that the risk depends on us, if we do it well, it's possible that the risk will be small and maybe even avoidable.
I don't think saving is bad either, but there are some people who only focus on saving. and it's not mandatory, in my opinion everyone should invest or save at the same time, because of course everyone's finances are different, it's possible that they have limited income that only meets their needs, and even saving is only occasionally or forced. .

That's true, perhaps one way is to look for additional work or side work. but not everyone can do it, because to do this in my opinion it requires more energy and time which must also be taken into account, don't force ourselves to do it if it will torture ourselves. and with time, of course when we do extra work or side jobs we have to be able to manage our time, where we are also humans who have to have time to rest, too much work is not good for our health.
and if you are capable of everything going well, what you have to pay attention to is money management so that everything can be better, don't let having a side or additional job make us more wasteful in managing finances, when finances start to stabilize then we can think about save or invest if that is what you want, because not everyone wants to invest even though it has been recommended, and to make an investment of course we have to be able to pay attention to many things such as emergency funds and others.
That's true, but if one income or job doesn't match the expenses plus lots of bills to pay, that's stupidity that really needs to change. And there is no other reason than looking for additional income or additional work, because that is the only way to get out of income and expenditure inequality without considering the time and energy to do it. When talking about not having time or being tired, everyone definitely feels the same way for those who are struggling to improve their lives because their income is low or mediocre. However, they are required to do this until everything is stable and then think of other ways to still have income other than the fixed income they earn, for investment, business or other efforts for better survival.
Money management must also be paid attention to, if we have limited income, then try not to have a lot of bills to pay, try to minimize everything well, this is where money management is important, because there are people who have large incomes but often their income quickly runs out somewhere, I think people like this when they have money they only think about being able to buy what they want, not what they need, and when the money starts to run out, they realize that they are confused about where the money they have went, even if they fix it properly. Get used to recording expenses, maybe something like that won't happen.
Indeed, everyone definitely wants comfort in their lives, one of which is financial, of course if their finances improve or are stable then we won't panic or worry, if we really want financial freedom then we should be willing to fight for life by working hard to earn money. because that is the only right way, it's just that not everyone can do it, there are people who are lazy to work even though it is also for their own good.
