Luckily I’m still on a budget and didn’t get hyped by this season. It’s pretty normal to spend a lot of Money during this season and the only way to survive is to do budgeting and adjust properly. If you can’t afford to buy expensive things better not to forced yourself. Gambling is fun, this is why I’m doing my best to have a small budget for this, just to give pleasure for myself and have fun as well. Stay on a budget, remember this is just a season and you still have priorities.
I believe a lot of people are not preparing extravagant anymore.
They have learned their lessons well during this pandemic period.
Even with gambling, they will only play with extra funds unless you are a degen of this habit.
So for me, I only gamble for fun. I have had my fair share of losses. So I know what to do already.
Just like with holiday season, just spend within your means. Don't showoff to other people.
