That's because if they honest with their own family members, their family members will say many things about their behavior and habits and even their family members can asks him to leave the family because of the bad impact to the other family. It's sad but that's the reality that happens in many family. If other family members can gives attentions to people who had gambling addiction and can talk carefully about their problems, the addicted  to gambling can be solved. The addicted to gambling will gets advice from the right people from their family so they will not gets trick from other people. The presence of the family can helps the addicted to gambling to start his rehabilitations and if their family members gives their support, that will be more power to the addicted to gambling and they will wants to do every process they must do.

Yes, if family members already know about their gambling activities, then it is very likely that many family members will give advice so that the addict wants to stop and get out of the gambling circle. a good goal so that everyone does not experience suffering due to mistakes made by just one person.
Therefore, addicts are very careful in hiding their bad deeds from their own families. If addicts want to open up, I think maybe only a few addicts, but many addicts try to cover it up.

Yes that's right, no matter how bad a person's family background is but still they will definitely put a strong concern for other members who experience gambling addiction problems, but I think it is quite rare for the family to know that their family members are addicted to gambling, because usually most addicts prefer to hide their bad habits from their family except maybe their closest friends and when gambling addicts do not get attention and supervision from the family then I think they will feel more free to do things out of control.

The inability and lack of courage in terms of telling family members that they have experienced addiction will make it even more difficult for them to get out of the addiction phase, they always hide it because they may be afraid of being angry by their parents but if for example a situation like this is still allowed then of course they have a high probability of facing worse impacts which also has the potential to affect other family members.
262  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where is the fun when you lose your money? on: March 31, 2024, 10:44:11 PM

It can only be for for people who do not take gambling to be a source of income, it is fun for people who only stake a small amount of money and do not gamble with the aim of becoming rich. In gambling you win some and you lose some, but every responsible gamber does not go all in trying to win money. I.e. football is my favorite sports, so it is fun for me playing on football matches and testing my prediction skills, if i lose, i try again another time, but i do not lose a lot of money so i don't cry over it.
There's no fun when we keep winning as well. I mean, we gamble ot experience the thrill and we know that it's a win or loss game, and if we have more wins than winning, that gives us the kind of fulfilling feeling that we thought we are really good in gambling. Yes, the reality is we loss most of the time, that's just how gambling work, otherwise casino would not anymore exist because we beat them.

The discipline in sticking with our budget only, tha'ts the most vital thing to do since we want to last more to enjoy more and that requires to properly manage our bankroll. You don't go all in if you don't want to get busted, I'm sure you guys know that if we do that, most of the time the result is not good.

I understand that there are some responsible gamblers who always make pleasure the goal of their gambling regardless of whether they win or lose at the end of the session, but for the majority of gamblers usually losing does not give any pleasure at all and I think we can be sure that these are typical gamblers who come with the intention and purpose of earning so they really cannot feel pleasure in running a session and instead what they feel is tension along with some pressure because of worries about the possibility of losing.

On the other hand, it's also true that winning too often can also cause problems where as you said that there may be some people who claim and think that they are great or experts in the field of gambling, when in reality they are nothing more than just having good luck, And obviously the danger is that I'm sure next they will gamble in a crazier way because they already have high confidence and confidence that they are experts who will always be able to get a win, but the fact is that one day defeat will be a sure thing and it will slap them and the danger is that the inability to accept reality can make them take even crazier actions.

Yes sometimes we face the problem that the session goes so fast, or that means the losses come too fast that we can't enjoy gambling for longer, and I understand that money management in betting sessions is a good idea to be able to better keep the betting money from being too wasteful, but in the end I think it still comes down to luck, or that means if for example some of the games we play in the session go very badly then the session will end quickly as well.
263  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever done something crazy to bet? on: March 31, 2024, 10:23:11 PM
It never works for greedy people (just like me before). Maybe I was wrong or just said some people have the same experience as me; the moment I think about winning, ain't happen but losing. That is why I'd never thought about it since then.
Indeed, these casinos always win because they know that gamblers always lose control of their emotions which gives them no chance of winning. Gambling responsibly is always a reminder to us from casinos but unfortunately, only a few gamblers got into it because of the wrong mindset. 
One of the things you will notice if you stop to think about them is that the biggest losses you have ever suffered always come preceded by losing control over your emotions, and this is not a coincidence, as long as you can remain in control of your emotions then your losses can be kept down, but as soon as this is not the case and you begin to make some wild bets, it is just a matter of time until luck is not on your side anymore and you lose all of that money relatively quickly.

It's true that the biggest losses always start with losing control of your emotions which in turn always makes someone do some actions that they can't afford to be responsible for such as risking large amounts because they want to get a big win or want to reach the recovery phase, and if we talk about losing control of emotions then surely the context is that you are unable to accept defeat in the past which in turn emotions and makes decisions based on desperation and feelings of resentment.

The purpose of controlling emotions and expectations is not to increase the chances of winning but it is useful to minimize the number of losses that certainly no one wants, and previously I have often said on several other pages that it is not a real victory if you basically have not made a decision to cash out, which means that the greed aspect can still control you in the winning situation which if you really fail to manage greed then yes obviously wild betting will definitely be done by you which is usually as you said above that it is a matter of time and luck, which usually gamblers return to lose their winning money because luck does not last long because they are unable to ignore greed.
264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress? on: March 31, 2024, 08:47:02 PM
Gambling is not for fun. I really don’t see why this becomes a debate sometimes. When gambling was initiated, the idea wasn’t because of boredom. It was about making money, and it still is. If it’s all about fun then tell me if you’ll keep playing even if you keep losing money the whole month. And you wouldn’t really know how much you’ve spent until you track your gambling expense. So you may even need it more than you know.

i agree that sometimes we need to monitor how much money we have spent on gambling and how much we have earned from it. by monitoring our expenses, it will allow us to know whether our gambling is profitable or not at all or it has exceeded the limits of our financial capabilities. there is a lot of information that can be obtained from monitoring gambling expenditure and it will probably really help gamblers to organize their finances and regulate their gambling.

Yes it is and I think it is a necessary action regardless of whether you are a responsible gambler or not, keeping a record of how much you win and lose over a period of time to identify whether the losses are bigger or the wins are bigger is an action that does not hurt to do, because with this we will be able to find out about which amount is bigger between earning or losing.

This is a management that will be very useful for a balance between expenses and income, I understand that overall the number of losses is usually greater, but that does not mean we should allow the number of losses to grow, or the point is that with the management of recording the amount of loss in gambling, at least we can know that if it turns out that the amount you lose in a certain period of time turns out to be much greater than the amount of loss in the previous time, it means that it looks like you are too excessive in gambling and with this, we will be able to take the right action to rebalance everything, such as more reducing gambling activities in the next time, and the benefit is that obviously this action will be able to save you from excessive financial problems.
265  Other / Off-topic / Re: Noticing sign of gambling addiction before it gets worst on: March 31, 2024, 08:27:00 PM
Well I will share a little of my experience and knowledge about the signs of addiction as you asked here, which I think is quite easy because the signs of addiction can start when someone has started to feel more interested in gambling especially when they manage to get a win in their gambling session, I'm not talking about fun and excitement because usually something that more often makes someone addicted is when they manage to get money in any case, and maybe this can also be another reason why you keep your job, namely because you get money as a salary for the sweat you have put in.

Excessive interest in gambling can make a person ignore many other aspects that are actually something that should be prioritized such as management, control and boundaries, and also excessive interest can make it difficult for a person to ignore any time not to gamble, the point is in my opinion you can find out about whether you have signs that will lead to addiction or not, namely by identifying your gambling activities, if for example you find that lately you feel more interested in gambling and it is difficult to ignore any time not to gamble then that means you have started to enter the signs that will eventually lead to addiction.
266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: March 31, 2024, 08:06:50 PM
I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.
Most of them know about gambling addiction, the problem is that they are gambling just because of money, so they don’t care if they get addicted or not, no matter what people tell them, they will never listen, all what they want is money, so most of them do get to the level that they can no longer control themselves, when some people get addicted to gambling, they are always the cause of their addiction, whenever we are gambling, we shouldn’t have the mentality that we are going to make money from gambling, just enjoy the fun part of gambling.

But one of the reasons why they gamble for money is because from the beginning of their involvement they do not understand what gambling activities are actually about and this ignorance makes them gamble in ways and purposes that are not recommended as you mean here where they gamble for money or mean gambling with the intention and purpose of winning or making and multiplying the amount of capital they bring. On the other hand it is a fact that gambling is a probability activity which has two possibilities at the end of the session which are either win or lose, there is absolutely nothing that can tell you whether you will win or lose and also there is no guarantee whatsoever to be able to get a win there.

This means that when someone comes in with the intention and goal of earning but at the end of the session they end up losing then this is a situation where a gambler will usually take out of control actions such as chasing losses to achieve recovery which still the outcome at the end of the next session will also never be known whether it is a win or a loss so the idea of recovering something that has been lost in gambling is an action that more often than not ends in disappointment where you will end up losing a larger amount, And all this happens due to the goal of earning which makes them unable to accept defeat which ultimately leads to many actions that will only harm themselves due to not being able to control their emotions and also yes obviously this is typical of gamblers who will only lead themselves to the addiction phase. It is true that as a gambler we should not have the mentality that we will make money from gambling, because this will only lead you in many dangers as I explained above, and also this is the reason why we are more advised to make gambling an activity that is only for entertainment without putting expectations.
267  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: March 31, 2024, 07:46:48 PM
This is very true in slot machines as in order to get the money back you need to play again and again and hoping for that max win.The bad thing is that a max win with an optimistic prediction happens usually once in 2-3 years if you are very lucky but it also may never come for quite some more years and while a person is back chasing it this means it will constantly lose money and he will lose it all,he will not make a distinction between reality and his desire to make the money back by playing slots,this is where addiction starts and needs to be cured.

In sport betting is a bit easier as if you have enough patience to wait for the games you have bet on then most likely addiction can be controlled.
I’ve never trusted slot machines, I’m almost sure that there are algorithms that calculate winnings in such a way that the player will only lose, and it’s clear that the casino has the opportunity to put everything in its favor. In betting, a player definitely has more chances, but this is only if the player is good enough at it. It is difficult to compare machines and bets, because in my understanding they are too different types of gambling. If you rely only on luck, then there will be losses in all cases. If you take your knowledge as a basis, then the best result can be achieved in bets, where you can independently determine the winner.

This type of gambling, such as a slot machine, is a game that is too difficult to win, or that means it is quite rare for people to win there and in addition, slot machines have advantages that other types of games do not have, namely slots are very easy to win. play, attractive symbols and also musical nuances that can lower your level of consciousness or mean that it can easily make you fall deeper so that the mindset and actions to apply limits become less likely, which is all that causes the majority of gamblers who play on slot machines more often than not you go home with defeat, sometimes you can win but it is a fact that more people end up losing the winnings they have won because they fall into it and are unable to control their greed.

I don't know whether it is true that slot machines have a different algorithm or the winning percentage there is much smaller when we compare it with other types of bets, but what I do know is that slot machines are a game that is purely about luck and in addition slot machines have advantages such as as I said above, there are many very interesting things such as funny symbols, tempting fractions and interesting musical nuances which can make gamblers forget how to go home or draw the line at the right time. On the other hand, you can't just say that winning depends on how good the gambler is, because it is clear that this is a gamble where it will always be about two possibilities at the end of the session between winning and losing, especially this type of slot machine game where all the final results are purely a matter of luck. .

Don't just rely on luck? I understand that you are definitely talking about a type of sports betting where you can apply skills and knowledge to increase your chances of winning, but you can't just say that by having knowledge you will be able to achieve good results, we have to understand that everything always refers to luck , and sports betting is like a combination of skill, knowledge and luck.
268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling excites you ? on: March 31, 2024, 07:26:33 PM
People often excited with gambling because they are happy that they find another good opportunity to earn money and wishes that their bet goes right. If a person has money and he freely use it for gambling then he will enjoy putting a bet in gambling but if you don't have money then you will not be in fond of a way from which you can get money to play gambling.

Excitement also comes after the situations of success but if you Loss regulary then it does not become an excitement but it become your necessity to get your lost amount back.

Yes, that's right, that is the main reason why gamblers are excited every time they run a session, the main reason is because there is a chance of winning that can multiply the money they bring, they think that winning is the end of the gambling session when in fact winning in gambling is nothing more than a "possibility" and also gambling is not only about the chances of winning but there are other aspects that can never be removed in gambling activities, namely the possibility of losing, meaning that anyone can win but losing is also a sure thing.

On the other hand, yes I understand what you said above that the point is that the fun in gambling is when you bet with a sum of money that you can afford to take responsibility for if you lose in the end, And if you bet with money that you can't afford to lose or simply bet with too much force then it doesn't mean that I will say that you will lose but the problem is always that when someone bets with too much force which means that they are very eager to get a win then when the result turns out to be a loss they are usually unable to accept the situation and end up being dominated by emotions that can mess everything up, and the point is of course that the best approach to gambling is when you don't put too much hope in winning as well as only putting the amount of money that you can afford to be responsible for if you lose,.
269  Other / Off-topic / Re: Can family members help a gambling addict? on: March 31, 2024, 07:06:39 PM
It is true what you say that people who are addicted to gambling do not dare to be honest with their own family members for the reason that many of these family members will reject and prohibit gambling activities if they are discovered, so the addict remains closed off. perhaps about their gambling activities. And the addict will look for someone other than his family members to tell about his experiences because he thinks that is what is best for him, but whether his friends are able to keep the secret as well as possible is still uncertain.
Because other people will feel sorry if their friend gambles excessively and as good friends they will try to find a way to get the gambler to immediately wake up and stop.
That's because if they honest with their own family members, their family members will say many things about their behavior and habits and even their family members can asks him to leave the family because of the bad impact to the other family. It's sad but that's the reality that happens in many family. If other family members can gives attentions to people who had gambling addiction and can talk carefully about their problems, the addicted  to gambling can be solved. The addicted to gambling will gets advice from the right people from their family so they will not gets trick from other people. The presence of the family can helps the addicted to gambling to start his rehabilitations and if their family members gives their support, that will be more power to the addicted to gambling and they will wants to do every process they must do.

If for example their family does understand and know about the bad effects of gambling especially when someone has entered the addiction phase then yes I think what you said could happen where there is a possibility that their family will kick out the person who has been addicted because they are worried that in the end there will be a big problem that can have a bad impact on the family. I think it's a fact that some families don't want to bother responding to someone especially their family members who are addicted to gambling, usually they give advice and direction and if it's still done and there is still no change then usually your family will threaten you with the threat of expelling you and not recognizing you as a family member if for example you are still involved and cannot stop gambling, Because honestly I have one gambler friend who experienced this where he caused problems for his family such as many people suddenly collecting debts to his house and making his family, especially his parents, experience pressure due to having to pay a number of debts due to excessive gambling activities carried out by his son. It cannot be denied that indeed the family can have an influence on the change of an addict but only a few of the addicts can really be even though they have been given advice and attention.
270  Economy / Economics / Re: Everything is over priced but people keep spending on: March 31, 2024, 02:43:52 PM
A simple question for the OP is what is the purpose of work? All answers will lead to a point where needs are things that must be met regardless of whether the price is expensive, very expensive or very unaffordable. If we work, we will still get an average salary according to rising or falling inflation and it will continue to correlate with the prices of the goods we buy. Everyone has different purchasing criteria if it is not suitable to buy at an expensive price, there are still other cheaper options. It's all just a matter of taste but as I said above, we will do whatever we can and meet our needs to survive.
Yes, of course everyone who works to be able to meet their needs, even though the needs they need are expensive, of course they have to get those needs and if they can't fulfill them, of course we have to look for other sources of income to be able to meet the needs we need. In this case, each person is different when buying something and of course they will adjust to the income they have because they force themselves to fulfill our desires but the income we have is not enough, of course this will make us experience financial problems in the future.

It is clear that we all need basic needs to survive. and yes, even though the price is expensive, everyone must be able to meet their needs because it is unavoidable in my opinion. and as has happened recently in my country there has been an increase in the prices of everyone's needs, be it food or anything else, including fuel which sometimes also rises, and this is sometimes difficult to accept, so there are demonstrations in front of government buildings. But I didn't do it because I thought that most likely nothing would happen, so I better keep quiet and think about ways to meet my own needs.

That's true, everyone definitely buys what they need according to the income they have. Sometimes there are people who put aside their needs because they want to fulfill what they want even though it is very expensive and sometimes it is not that important either. Indeed, that is each individual's right, but adjusting the income generated to the needs they need is a must, because we have to be able to manage finances well so that we can meet the needs we need even though the prices are expensive.
271  Economy / Economics / Re: Debt Management. on: March 31, 2024, 02:18:27 PM
Lots of people nowadays are very comfortable with asking for money to be paid later on even with things they don’t need. Such example is a credit card. Instead of accepting we can’t afford something, we go out of our ways and ask for money from lenders which like you said can be very addicting. You are spending your money but at the same time not really which gives you the illusion that you are not spending any money at all.
It's strange why there are still people like that nowadays, even though everyone knows how to spend money the right way and doesn't need to make things they don't need for themselves. Credit cards are more suitable for those who have a lot of money saved and also don't want to have too much trouble when they want to spend something at a certain time. But I don't think everyone needs this and as long as they are conscious enough about using the card, of course there is no need to bother making one.

No, not everyone knows what money they should spend properly, because everyone definitely has their own desires, one of which is buying what they want even though it's not that important. I think it's not a problem if we have limits, because I think by doing things like that, I think it's a way of appreciating yourself. We certainly need pleasure for ourselves in life, we need motivation to make us enthusiastic about surviving by working hard. and by working hard you will have an income, but the problem is that they don't manage their finances well, they only think about their desires but don't think about other things that might be more important.

recently my friend bought a motorbike, where the motorbike he bought was a well-known motorbike for young people, he worked hard to collect money so he could buy the motorbike he dreamed of, but with his impatience, he opened his savings which Maybe that's almost enough for the price of the motorbike he wants, but in reality it's still not enough and because he's impatient he ends up borrowing money, in my opinion that's not wrong because it's based on his own desires, but what we have to pay attention to is We can be responsible for what we have done, including taking out loans. If we do take out a loan then we must be able to pay it back within a short period of time.
272  Economy / Economics / Re: The benefits of risk taking on: March 30, 2024, 05:05:40 PM

This means that people who succeed in achieving success are those who are not afraid in terms of taking risks and also who are able to take lessons in every failure they have gone through so that in the end they have a lot of experience and knowledge that ultimately leads them to the success they want, I understand that it is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand but the proof is that there are some people who really succeed when they never give up.

Taking anyhow risks doesn’t determine your success, but knowing the risks you do take is what will determine if you will be successful, not because success is not seen in the level of risk you take, but the level of the risk that you succeed on. That is what many find hard to understand, because talking about risk also deals with patience. Even though you take a risk that you know will be a great achievement for you, when you get reliant or think that you will not make it again, you might still lose because no risk goes in vain unless the risk that is normal is meant not for success. Without patience, you will always give up, and when you are willing to take a risk, you don't have to give up.

However taking risks does not mean you will succeed, I am not saying that risk determines success but doesn't success always start with the courage to take risks? Yes, and it is also reckless or even foolish to take risks without knowing and understanding the consequences and also knowing risks is not something that can guarantee your success, it is nothing more than knowing that you know and understand the risks you are taking and not a guarantee that you will succeed.

I've also said before that the likelihood of success is greater when you're someone who never gives up, and doesn't that idea have something to do with patience in it? Of course, never giving up involves patience and perseverance along with a strong consistency in the process, basically and to your point you also said that no risk is wasted which means that it depends on yourself if for example you are able to learn lessons from all the failures that you have experienced as a result of decisions that involve taking risks before then of course you will be able to gain progress in terms of experience and knowledge that makes you more knowledgeable about what to do and what to avoid and also with this you will know about what to do next.
273  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What should newbies do in trading? on: March 30, 2024, 04:44:48 PM
I think saving is better than losing.

You earn money by business  and deposit 5% or 10% of that money rather than losing it by trading.

Suppose you have $100. I think you will be able to earn $10-20$ using that $ in business. But by trading with $100 you are more likely to lose everywhere than actually happened to you.

 Deposit it without trading  with your remaining $45 and think about business .

Beginners who are interested in trading better learn and have more knowledge in trading before starting to trade. If you want to gain trading experience, it would be better to use a demo account first or do it with a real account but use a small nominal amount.

there is indeed a high probability that beginners in trading will receive losses. but the risks can be reduced if beginners prepare themselves well before starting.
the mistake many beginners make is that they think trading is easy.

But the real lesson is when they start their trading journey where they will find many experiences that will be the source of their knowledge, your advice is indeed good by suggesting that we first try to trade on a demo account where indeed I also previously did it in the experimental stage, but actually a demo account with a real account is different, not about features or how to use some indicators but what distinguishes it is in terms of mental and psychological, which means learning to understand how to trade that you can get by learning on a demo account but there is another thing that is also no less important is learning to control your mental and psychological which you will be able to practice on a real account where some people look very tense when trading on a real account while when on a demo account they are more relaxed because they are trading using fake money.

Tension can greatly affect the outcome of trading because in many cases people make wrong decisions due to anxiety and tension underlying the decision making which means obviously trading requires calmness in terms of making decisions. On the other hand the possibility of loss will of course always lurk anyone especially if they are a beginner who does not have much knowledge about the world of trading which means it is vulnerable to making mistakes that can make them experience losses, but if you have strong intentions and determination when the learning process then over time you will be able to develop into a better trader where there is a high probability that you will succeed in achieving consistent profits.
274  Other / Off-topic / Re: What if an employee of a betting company misuses company funds for gambling? on: March 30, 2024, 04:12:48 PM
It is a serious matter that will be seriously taken by the company. I won't be surprised if that employee will go to the office and will be lured by the company just to get arrested.

That will be the kind of setup that will happen if the betting company finds out that there's one employee that has became a culprit to the misusage of their funds.

Yes that's right, there is no such thing that companies will tolerate their employees just because the employee is confirmed that they suffer from addiction, because after all rules are rules and mistakes are mistakes, so of course as you said that this is a pretty serious problem for companies and not just companies engaged in gambling because this is a problem that involves misuse of money which is very sensitive.

In the end, the company will still bring this problem to the law especially when the amount of funds misused is very large which can harm the casino itself, firing the person and then imprisoning him is the right decision because he has a very bad personality who dares to take and misuse company money. This incident will certainly be a valuable lesson for a casino where with this happening, they will definitely be more careful in choosing and hiring people, especially in the financial department.

What most gamblers do is that when they lose gambling or lose some money, they try hard to recover the lost money and they plan to do so until they can recover their loss. Gambling will continue. When a gambler gambles with such a plan in mind, he will find it difficult to make decisions and the decisions he makes will go against him causing him to lose more than the loss he is going to recover. Just as it is normal to gain profit in gambling, it is also normal to lose in gambling, so if you can take profit as normal, then you should take it as normal if you lose some money. It is never the sign of a typical gambler that you get excited after losing some money and try to recover that loss at any cost and get into bigger losses.

Yes, we can actually see what type of gamblers are when they lose, what I mean is that we can judge whether they are responsible gamblers or not when they lose which we can see their response in terms of responding and responding to the defeat, if for example they are still in a stable state of self in the note not showing an emotional response then yes maybe we can assume that they are quite responsible gamblers but if for example they respond to defeat with full emotion along with returning to betting with the intention and purpose of chasing defeat then yes clearly I think we can already conclude that they are irresponsible gamblers who come with the intention of earning.

From the scenario you presented above, it is clear that we can call them gamblers who come with the intention of earning so that when they lose they are unable to accept the fact of defeat which ultimately encourages them to chase victory to pursue the money they have lost which in fact you have clearly said that this action will actually only make them experience a greater loss of money. This is what we must understand because I am sure that there is little chance for you to experience the adverse effects of gambling if you come with the right understanding and right because you must always be able to be rational in every decision.

You should really be that responsible on the time that you would really be dealing up with gambling. You cant really just that make yourself having that kind of approach on which
you would really be  that impulsive and being that desperate because of the loses that you had committed. Well, its a normal reaction since we are just humans but doesnt mean that you would
really be tolerating it. Gambling should really be that fun and not something that will bring out stress and anxiety or rage upon you. Gambling is something that will give out that kind of
entertainment and leisure. Yes, losing money is never been fun but it is really that part of the game. If you are someone whose really been that expecting something positive
then you would really be ending up on having that kind of frustration on the time that you would really be experiencing loses.

Never ever make yourself that being that too positive towards gambling because if you do expect something positive and didnt happen then you would really just got pissed
and you would really be angry on the things that you are really that dealing with. So better be realistic and be just play according into your leisure needs.

Indeed, we should be able to take full responsibility when we gamble. because it will determine our future, even the future could be at stake if we gamble irresponsibly. Many gamblers who experience big losses or problems that make their lives fall apart may be because they gamble too much beyond their means, including with their finances. When the gambling they do ends in defeat, they don't stop there, but they keep gambling again to chase victory, and by chasing victory in gambling, they will not definitely get a win, but they will only experience losing more money, and also the action. This is not a responsible action, because when you lose at gambling, what you have to do is stop and walk away from gambling to calm your increasingly confused thoughts.

We must be able to think about the negative impacts of excessive gambling. If we only think about the positive or only think about winning, it is not right, because thinking like that will probably only lead us to the destruction of our lives. do gambling appropriately or we will experience life ruin.

Many people are going through gambling addiction but they manage to keep it a secret from their families and loved ones. The only people that know about their gambling activities are their close friends. In the event that you are one of those close friend to a gambling addict, do you think it is right to tell their loved ones with the intention that they will be able to talk to him and help him overcome his addiction? Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.

I experienced this, indeed I gamble every weekend, even with the limits I set for gambling, including the budget and time for gambling. and yes, I keep my gambling activities a secret from my family, because I have my own reasons for that, also I don't want my family to be disappointed with this habit that I do, and it's true that those who know about my gambling activities are my close friends. but I don't know whether he will tell my family about the gambling I did, if he did tell my family about the gambling I did then I won't blame him, because it was my fault too. but here I can still control myself until everything is fine.

Besides, I gamble with money that I earn myself, so I think it's fine as long as it doesn't harm other people, so I will do it if this is a way for me to have fun. even though my family knows I might still do it because I feel that what I am doing is not harming them. If the gambling I do is detrimental to them then I will do research to stop gambling, but everything is fine. so I don't think it's a problem.

Why do you have to invest when you don't have money to take care of yourself. To invest is to stay healthy and to stay healthy you must have enough to look after yourself. You can't invest when you don't have basic things, you might not have all what it takes to live life but you must have atleast the basic things to survive otherwise you will sell your investment without looking back.

If you are making an investment, you should have a little that you can use to survive or better still get a job to take care of bills because investment don't grow over night, it takes time depending on the type of investment you have made. You can also save for rainy days if must but don't touch your investment.

It's true that if we don't have sufficient finances then it's best not to force ourselves to invest, because in my opinion it's better to invest when our finances are stable. If we don't have good finances then we are not required to invest. Also, before making an investment, we have to be able to look at other things, what if something emergency happens, such as an accident or falls ill, of course to overcome this we have to have money to deal with it and if we don't have spare money, maybe what will happen is selling the investment. which has been done.

Indeed, profitable investments do not develop overnight. Of course, profitable investments are long-term and many people who invest are aiming for the future, not the present. Stable finances have a big role here, because it is not just to maintain the investments made, but to meet our needs and also the bad days that might occur.

Well this is some very good advise to give. We must teach the younger people in our life to start to save their money for the future when they are much older.

It is good thing to teach this to the kids we know. I have my 2 nephews and both of them are young, saving money, for preparing for his future. I want to teach them this good thing to do, my father never did this for me.

Basically, we all have to be able to save to welcome our future, because if we don't do it ourselves then who else will do it. Our future is also not regulated by other people, our future is entirely our responsibility, if when we were young we were lazy then when we were old we might have difficulties because we didn't have the savings we prepared when we were young. and indeed many young people don't think about this, they only think about temporary styles. This is not a new problem, but it has become a culture. I think young people definitely think about temporary lifestyles.

Maybe your father had his own reasons why he didn't teach you to save, but even so, when you grow up, I think you will have good thoughts, such as thinking about the future, which you have to prepare for now. Don't let us not think about our future because we weren't taught. If we really want a good future life then we have to do our best when we are young, including saving. This is a small but important role.

Everyone will do anything to fulfill their basic needs, so no matter how much prices increase, they will still buy them for survival.
That's a natural thing and indeed every human being is like that, regarding hard work and ways to get money to meet all needs which continue to increase, everyone has their own way and it must be admitted that for the lower middle class it will be difficult.

It's true, if what goes up are basic or basic needs then what we have to do is buy them because as you said, in order to survive and survive, like it or not, we have to be able to buy them. when prices rise, it is the poor who will be confused, they may lack basic needs and they have to do whatever they can to meet their needs, it is impossible for them to just keep quiet, while they need food or other necessities to survive.

Also, basically everyone wants financial freedom, therefore everyone must work hard to fulfill their needs, including the desires of those who want their life to be complete. maybe the price increase for people who have a lot of income or money will not be a big problem, because they have enough finances so that whatever is sufficient, but what you say is true, this will be a burden on the minds of middle to lower class people, they will be confused when Their finances are unstable and prices increase, but they will not be able to avoid it. They still have to do whatever they can to meet their needs even though there is a price increase.
