Brave or Stupid?

[MArsland]

Someone from my community said he quit his job after winning almost 3,000 USD from gambling. Now he is back to looking for a job after he lost all his money. Immediately, I thought that was a stupid decision. 3,000 USD is a huge money but not a life changing one. It is not even that big to start a big business. Most likely he quit his job out of adrenaline and happiness. Do not make big decisions like that after winning a big amount of money. Quit your job if you have successfully built that 3,000 to grow.

That's how it is when a big win hits someone who is not mentally prepared. He is no longer thinking clearly just because he won $3000 for the first time in his life. IMO he is a typical person who is financially unable to manage well, believe it or not the $3000 he gets will quickly run out of ordinary he will return to the casino to gamble.

We can't assume the friend was stupid in his decision, $3k isn't a lot of money, but we have to look at where he lives and other factors.
Example:
The situation where he works, his monthly salary, activities, pressure from the boss and other negative factors.

In my understanding, in some places and countries, $3k is enough to run a business, in developing a business of course he is the boss, he is an employee and he is everything, there is no pressure and so on, he is free to do whatever.

I think the decision he took was a genius and brave step, if he continued to work and continued to gamble of course the $3k he earned from gambling winnings would be lost, but the money was used for business and stopping gambling was a good step he made.

He is brave if he tried to invest the money maybe in business and failed. Failure doesn't mean stupidity. That individual tried to take risk ans be free for 7-5 jobs. He tried to free himself from the rat race and failed.  But if he has no plans for business and investment, which lef to a waste of money, he is stupid.  Leaving your job without a workable plan at hand is foolishness. Some people are saying he would have grown the money before resigning. Sometimes you would not put in your best if you have other options.

3k usd ain't nothing. it's only enough to keep your live for two months in developing countries, a month or even less in a developed countries. So, your friend is an example of dumbest person in the earth. Even 3k is not as big as you thought considering how big the inflation happen every year.
If it was 300k or 3m USD, i would like to quite the job, and make a life from the yield by staking it. However, quiting the job for 3k is just a very stupid decision. I'm wondering in what country he lives.

[lixer]

Depends on the nation you live in of course, not every nation has the same sort of situation, some are capable of starting a business with 3k, well in reality if you go online route then you can start a business with 3k easily, it would cost a lot less if you can build your own website.

However, 3k is not worth it to stop working, unless you are 100% sure about the business, and even in that case, if you are so sure, nothing that prevents you from working at our job AND build it online that way you can have the income before you have to quit your job.

in my local currency that's not even what some people make annually and he decided to quit his job because he felt like he won too much. One of the negative effects of winning when it comes to gambling is thinking that you can always achieve the same result. He was feeling invincible and thinking that he would be able to win more that's why he quit his job. Gambling is just about getting lucky and luck is something thaymt comes when you least expect it. This is a mistake that he isn't really going to forget in a hurry.

[DiMarxist]

Even though the country of origin of this person were not disclosed, I suspect that converting this $3,000 to his local currency will amounts to a reasonable amount of money that, may have been the reason why this person should have quit his job when he win this money. But I know the feeling of winning this usually comes with big winning it tends to make you believe that, you can survive with the money gambling the more believing that you are going to win the more. So this will be attributed to adrenaline which was caused by the sudden win . Now that reality has set on him looking for a job is now the best option for him.

Yes, of course this is a great option when you can work even with winnings such as 3k, but I think the fact is that many people think it will be easy to win this money and very often. Players sometimes think too positively, but the fact is that they are not much different from other players who do the same things as the rest, most often just hoping for luck and nothing else, unfortunately. I don't want to say that this is wrong, but it's better for such players to have a stronger foundation under their feet so that they don't look for work later if something doesn't work out in the game.

How can one quit his job because he is excited that his financial status has improved after winning without a clear plan as to what to do with the money? Like starting a business, no matter how small it might be. That's absolute stupidity. I guess he thought he would be winning very often, probably every week, and there won't be a need to work.

[Versatile_choice]

Winning $3,000 is fine, but quitting his job is not a wise idea. Or i would have said it is a wise idea if he had used the money to start up something, although i don't know if he's from united state or not but i want to tell you that here in my country you can make a large business using $3,000 but your friend is not wise enough, because if he's wise he would have invest the money in something. Now he lost his job together with the amount he won, so obviously he's left with nothing,  now he's going to start all over again. It's funny how most people take decision without even giving it a second thought.

[Gifte001]

The thing there's the man in question has no plan after he won that money, he knew the stress he got from where he worked he supposed planned for something to do with that money. Shall let's not blame him we don't Know what he's passing true, maybe he was trying to fix one or two things also we don't if he have wife and children maybe he rry to make them look good for the main without knowing that the money will still finish..

[Hispo]

Definitely stupid. I would never quit my job unless the money I got from gambling was big enough to sustain myself and my family for the rest of our life. We would be talking about a true life changing amount, like fifth million of American dollars... With this global economy and how bad inflation has gotten three grand is next to nothing, it would not be even enough to buy a good property in a central city of a developing country.

It's brave to do something with $3,000 & it would be stupid to quit his job, then start a new gambling session with that $3000. I also have bros who goes crazy from the dopamine increase in his brain, he won $1,500 & promised his girlfriend some things to buy (jewelry & a new iPhone). Without realizing it, he continued gambling until the money was gone, he forgot that he had promised his girlfriend something & you know what happened next? they broke up.

Perhaps it was a good thing they broke up, nothing good can come out of a relationship which is so materialistic and based on gifts to keep going. Hopefully he will eventually control his clear gambling addiction and find a woman who would not care about his social status or whether he gets her an Iphone or not.

Yup, thinking that he already got decent amout that can change his life, the problem is if the person is not mentally prepared and just like what happened to OP's post the person who manage to win lose the amount without preserving it as instead of wuickly use it either use it back to play then lose or if wherever the person use it and lose, instead of doing it, best to save the amount and think of good investment or business before quitting your job.

He probably got drunk and took that decision, he seriously though 3K is enough for his life atleast if it's in 5 figures and he lives in a third world country then it might be enough for a year but this is not enough for anything.

[KiaKia]

He must have thought that he will keep winning, I think that's why he quit, that's a bad idea because he can keep working and still keep gambling, he didn't have to quit the job.

Secondly that amount of money is best for investment, he could have used it to start a business, that's a lot of money, enough to start a good business and start growing from there.

I can only stop working if I have win $20,000, this amount is enough to start my dream job.

[Mhizlove]

What I see from this, the over excitement was too much and in this case one lucky win don't determine how serious your choice  in life will go, when your excitement is too high your decision making will be affected but the only way is how smart you move and how you maintain your stability while you go for new opportunities and don't do it with a rush take it gradually.

See if you're leaving on a dependable source of income without solid foundation and a plan, this can lead to unnecessary risk because of lack of planning and strategy. If you want real progress,you have to be patient don't rush, also be consistent and lastly don't forget about planning with all these you can see real progress and not from acting on emotional rush.

[Bluedrem]

To be honest, his decision was really stupid. Here you should have mentioned how he ended up with the three thousand dollars he won? I think he lost his winnings through gambling. People are told so many times that gambling can never be a profession unless you have your own gambling platform. And gambling is not a job that you have to leave your real life job to gamble. And if he thinks that he will use the money he won for three thousand dollars in business and create his own employment, then considering his geographical location, if that amount of money is enough to set up a business, then he made a brave decision. Maybe he was not very knowledgeable in business, which is why he lost the money again. I would say that it is even more stupid for a person to suddenly make a stupid decision before he has some good talent and good decisions.

There are several factors that will determined if his actions was either stupid or not, because despite the fact that $3000 might not be a huge sum of money for people living in a developed country, but to those living in a developing or under-developed country, it is quite a reasonable sum to start up a good business. So if he had quit his job that has a monthly salary of $100 to start up his own personal business, it would been a perfect decision ever made, but only if the business has potential to generate profit same as the $100 salary he was earning monthly or more. And same goes to if his salary was $300 to $500 monthly, and then he went ahead to quit his job to start up a business that can't generate a profit of $300 to $500, then that would have been a wrong decision made.

When you throw away a job that essentially covers your essential living expenses, it’s not very sensible. However, sometimes, in order to change something in life, you need to take actions you’ve never taken before. In general, if a person decides to quit their job so easily, it’s likely that the job wasn’t right for them. There is hope that they will be able to change something in their life and find a new job with better prospects for growth and development. So, for now, it’s still too early to say whether this situation is good or bad.
I think about how I would act in such a situation, and most likely I would also leave the job if I didn’t like it, especially if I had a $3,000 bonus.

[ScamViruS]

Seriously, he quit his job after winning $3000! I wonder what his salary was, because it wasn't enough money to make him decide to quit his job. And the worst thing is, he lost that money again. Now he has no other options, he now understands what reality is and why he shouldn't make big decisions based on small wins in gambling. $3000 was not a huge win, it may have seemed like a big win for the gambler for a while but it was actually a small amount that made him decide to quit his job.

Therefore, one should not make any decision out of excitement, which will lead to a lot of regret later.
