I will love to quit gambling when I am 42yrs because I don't want to give gambling much time and I will prefer to look for an alternative means to have fun.
My first question to you is, How old are you? How sure are you that, at the age of 42, you will stop gambling? Why do you stop gambling? Apart from the things I have already asked you, let's assume that you can do that, and that is what you know about yourself. You can do it; why don't you start now? Why wait until you're 42 years old when you can quit anytime you want?
Maybe later, at the age of 42, we can't say that you suddenly had an addiction to gambling. Do you think you can just stop gambling if you become an addict? These are just some of my questions.
That gives people goals to look for, so who am not judging that behavior, but in reality no one knows what kind of person they will be when they grow old. At least i didn't have a clue. In fact i was quite naive about it and if i told my younger self what i am doing. I guess he would be all over for the idea of bitcoin and futurist tech. And probably tried to live as some kind of crypto anarchist.
I also think he would be disappointed on my choices, like my gambling. I had a vision of being someone successful but i didn't know that would require me to grow
But younger me was also an idiot, if i would listen to that person, it would just mean i hadn't grow at all.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with having plans for our future. At least we have guidelines; that's up to us if we try to make it happen in the application that's arguing. It's just like my experience before: I didn't want to become a gambler, and I even said then that I would never become a gambler.
But what I said didn't happen because I was still a gambler and tried to do it here in the crypto space. But this doesn't mean that I gambled in crypto gambling was bad, of course not, because I'm not an addicted gambler; I'm just doing it just for fun. That's what I do if I win, thank you; even if you lose, thank you because you enjoyed and were entertained; it's that simple.
