I always believe that luck in gambling will not come again and again, when I am lucky to get a big win I will not let the winning money be in my account, I will immediately withdraw it then invest in stocks or crypto expecting long term profits outside the gambling platform, we are not will never control ourselves in managing finances if we often splurge.
This is one of the first mistakes, actually. Investing directly on things people do not completely understand. I would first seek the help of a financial advisor if I were you, then take the time to study some of the investments that are readily available to me before I make the decision. I do understand that a lot of us here will readily invest in cryptocurrency at any given time if we have the money. But with huge amounts? It's better to take our time before we click the button and spend something on potential bags that we will hold for a long time.
I'm ambitious being and making more money keeps ringing in my head, I'm not bluffing or trying to say this to make anyone feel better, most of us don't know how to handle and spend money, when it's available, that's the moment we start spending unnecessarily and even go further in buying stuffs that are not important, only to go broke and find out that we need to work, that's the moment we fall back to gambling, and trust me when I say, it's a wrong path. We've been brainwashed into believing that the money system will collapse if we don't look for several sources of it or rely on one source that is completely out of line. Our funds will continue to deplete because we just depend on a single source of income.
Exactly. Most people, when they have access to money, they'd buy things that 'they think' they need, when in fact it's the opposite. The consumerism mindset has been etched deep into our minds that we think everything that we see, we need. Good on you for recognizing that there is a possibility that our funds will eventually go to zero if we spend incessantly and carelessly. Not a lot of people, especially those who are new to having lots of money, know this and recognize it early on.
