Gambling addiction?

[666LIZ]

Really, you don't think student loans are an acceptable form of debt?? A college education isn't worth financing, but a car is? Because that's the only way most of my generation is able to pay for college. We don't all have rich parents that could pay for it.

ROFL.........There are way too many "Free Grants" out here to be paying for college first off. And Second off I worked nights and weekends to pay for college. Third off rich parents psh if you only knew what kind of life I actually had but you go on and be judgmental because someone called you out and the first action to take is defensiveness I clearly understand. Guess that proves my point on everything Ive said because "IF" you have a gambling addiction you are willing to "JUSTIFY" your spending because you are always looking for that "ONE" big "WIN" and as you stated in other posts you had "ONE" of those already this year. Yet I promise Bankroll Management is something you terribly lack otherwise you would "NEVER" take a cash advance out to put up when the "RISK" doesnt outweigh the "REWARD"

I have to say, your response looks way more defensive than mine. Actually it looks like you're attacking me to make yourself feel better about something in your life are insecure about, and maybe it's finances. Maybe you grew up in a really poor family that made bad financial decisions and you don't want to be compared to them. Who knows, all I know is that I've been living on my own since I was 17 and after 3 1/2 years of working full time and going to school part time I chose to become a full time student because I just didn't have enough time to be a successful student and make it out of college by the time I was 30. I also don't play to win, I play because I enjoy gambling, and I treat any money I gamble with as gone before I start playing with it. Also, I don't think the term "Bankroll Management" applies to true gambling, it's a term I apply to poker, and it's actually something I stick to very consistently.

Awwww living on ur own since u was 17 woooopidoooo dear I been Married since I was 16 Im now 33 {yes we are still Happily Married} and been living on my own since I was 15. Ive managed to put myself and my husband through college working nights and weekends all while doing it with 3 kids I wont sit here and say for one minute it hasnt been hard and as for my parents they really have no bearing on me or my current family. Poker is only gambling if you dont know how to implement the proper playing techniques. You dont have those qualities clearly by this statement
"I treat any money I gamble with as gone before I start playing with it"

I made a small statement about having self control and self discipline which was clear from your first post that you had none otherwise you wouldnt need to put restrictions on yourself. I could care 2 shits less bout your financial issue the original question was over gambling addiction and you clearly have that issue. Your husband is enabling you to fail, only because I sense you are rather young 21-25 and as time goes on you will see that what I have said is correct.

One more thing......The United States Supreme Court has ruled 4 times that "POKER" when dealt by a dealer to 2-4-6-8-10 players it is considered a game of "SKILL". Maybe its not me looking at it wrong!

I've clearly defined poker as something I treat different than gambling in previous posts. By gambling I refer to non-poker casino gambling such as slots and table games like blackjack and roulette. You are the one that keeps trying to apply what I've said about gambling to poker.

You're very close, I'm 26, and frankly I have made decisions that mean I don't have to struggle in life. I don't make life harder than it needs to be, and I was sharing my personal experience about how I'm trying to avoid developing a true gambling problem. Also, I can't say my husband is enabling me to fail, because I don't spend much money on myself, and like I said earlier, he honestly spends just as much or even more on his video games. We actually live well below our means and will have our debt paid off within a couple years, so what I've spent on gambling really isn't a big deal, I am just being very careful now about not letting my situation turn into a true problem.

That is the first time you have clearly defined Poker/Slots/Gambling in any of your posts and this thread is the ONLY one I see with any real merit. I encourage you to pay off your debt long before the couple years and once you do that you could potentially learn the game of Poker verses counting your money gone before you even sit.
