Using money meant for essentials on gambling is a big red flag. It is easy to do but it can have very serious consequences. When gambling, you should set your priorities, never use the money meant for important things to play bets and if there is a problem with addiction, get help.
 
"This is such an important reminder. Using money meant for essentials to gamble is a slippery slope that can lead to serious financial and emotional challenges. It's easy to get caught up in the thrill of the game, but keeping priorities in check is crucial. Setting clear limits, sticking to a budget, and treating gambling as entertainment rather than a financial solution can make all the difference.

It's especially important to seek help if gambling begins to feel like more than just a fun pastime. Support systems and resources are available for anyone struggling with addiction. Thank you for bringing attention to such a critical issue—this kind of conversation can really help the community make better choices."

Even as one sets limits and budgets, it is crucial to recognize signs of gambling addiction and learn how to place priorities on financial stability over and above the temporary excitement of gambling.
 
One of my best friend use his school fees to gamble and unfortunately he lost all the money. He cried throughout the whole night and refuse to eat throughout the next day.Since that day, he avoid betting like leprosy

People who spend essentials money on gambling activities will definitely face severe financial troubles. It is critical to establish specific boundaries when it comes to betting.
 
I haven't but I know people who have been hit hard by gambling addiction, which is quite sad. First, I set aside bills, rent, and school fees. I don't get so much into gambling as to deep my hands in those monies.
