Gambling Retirement Plan

[Furious 7]

I think this is too much because for problem gambling it is not a job and the word retirement is when they have a certain job and it is not suitable to be juxtaposed with gambling.
Gambling is not a job for sure and it's not worth it when we make it seem like a job and have to retire because of it. Quitting gambling is necessary but it can't be said to be retirement even though in this context it might be about letting go of it but for me it's too much.

Everyone should be aware of their gambling activities and when it comes to quitting gambling we can even do it at any time not necessarily based on a certain age or period.

Gambling isn't a business neither is it a company that folks can just carry and hand down to the younger generations... You can't hand/ transfer gambling over to anyone since involvement in it is more of a personal decision that everyone has the choice to make based on their preferences and ability to take risk...For folks that have more than enough money and gamble for entertainment/ leisure, I see no reason age should start becoming a limit... So even if they are old, there is really nothing bad if they continue to gamble as long as the interest for gambling is there...

I am so sorry to tell you this my friend but you are on a path of destruction if you don't rethink about your crazy strategy, ther are people who have spend their whole lives as a gambler and they have nothing to show for it, if you want to risk everything on something make sure it's not gambling, investment is better because the chance of having accomplishments is higher than that of gambling, you can dedicated all your life as a gambler hoping that one day you will win and you will get nothing great, ask those who have been buying lottery tickets since their youth days and they are over 70 years old and not a lottery winner yet.

I agree with you, this is the right path to end up very badly, because then it becomes a kind of vicious circle, a spiral that pulls you down. Often then we chase defeats, we chase numbers. I've seen a lot of people ruin their lives.

Every sphere of work has a certain number of Year in service.  Even Entrepreneurs have a certain age they plan.to work and hand over to their children or any of their predecessor at old Age.
I've seen quite a number of post asking the different times and hours that people gamble with, when yo gamble and when not to gamble amongst other post but it seems gamblers donot have any plan to retire from the gambling activities and hand over to the younger ones.
I think gambling should also have a retirement period. Not a specific age like the government works but like a personal commitment at a certain age. To hand over the gambling activities to the younger generations.
Maybe before that time you as an individual can have a target and work towards achieving it then you take that as a retirement benefit from all your Years of gambling.

You have an odd perception of what you think people do. Entrepreneurs are some of the most relentless people you'll ever encounter and they're not working towards handing it over, they genuinely enjoy the thrill of working and solving challenges - it is often what sustains them, they'd rather never give that up. Many people don't want to stop certain activities but are limited by things like injury or age, but I don't see that being true for gambling with how accessible it is these days. It's like saying that going to the cinema or swimming should have a retirement age, it doesn't make sense to a normal person because we can usually do these things in moderation. Stop trying to limit what other people can do with their lives, even if that is how you choose to live yours.

I want to retire at 60 from gambling, or sooner than that, but 60 is the maximum.
We have to think wisely from now on, where one day when we are old, our habits will be seen by our children and grandchildren and that is not a good thing to do as parents in a family, the fear is that they will be followed by the younger generation in the family who cannot control themselves and this will actually make them lose direction and experience greater losses. It is best to have time in retirement to separate from gambling, because perhaps the sense of fun in gambling will also be diminished as we get older.

Gambling is not a job but a game and so should not be equated with other pensionable government job, gambling is for fun that keeps you away from stress, re-energize your worn out tissues, keeps you fit, infact it is best for old age because gambling keeps their brain functional, fast in thinking, keeps them mentally and physically fit without being a liability to their loved ones, that is why you see alot of aged persons gambling instead of retirering .

I mean, personally, we shouldn't really think of gambling or start gambling at all. I'm not saying that gambling was bad if you know what you are doing, but not doing gambling for sure is going to be better in my opinion, rather than trying to start gambling trying to make it something as a source of our income, If you are trying to find a right age to retire on gambling, the best moment was just to retire right now because this is gambling probably one of the worst thing that you could do on your money, I mean I would rather burn it on future trading than just wasting it here in gambling, aside probably on sportbetting that I would probably enjoy.

I wouldn't dare to hand over gambling to my next generations anyway, I mean, who in the world is gonna wanted there children to do gambling? We already know that it is not a good idea, it's addictive, it's destroying our finances, etc. There will be no benefit to hand it over instead your just making one of the worst decisions that you could make. Imagine teaching your children to gamble, It like teaching them to burn some money. Worst that could affect the children's development, if I'm not mistaken.

I laughed after reading this post. I have never imagined that there could be a retirement plan for gambling where an adult who is a parent voluntarily passes down gambling to his children. I am curious to know, "what exactly will be passed down, the casino, the knowledge or money made throughout your years of active gambling? Passing down gambling plans to the next generation is not adviceable, except what you are passing down is your wealth acquired through gambling.

But most importantly, gambling is not an ideal job, not to even think of creating a retirement plan for it. Young people now should look for reliable sources of income and start up a proper retirement plan. Relying on gambling for this purpose is very risky because gambling can disappoint at any time.

If I was an active or professional gambler, I will invest whatever I earn now into something that will generate returns in the future. Gambling at old age would be for fun and nothing more. My children will not learn gambling from me because they may not be as careful as I am.
