    Well it has now taken me 19 years to figure that out! HHH (I'm a slow learner!)
    In 2024 I have cut back quite a bit, casinos, lottery, our crazy PA skill machines. Then people be like "oh you make good money, you can afford it!" True, but I've honestly put myself into a much better place. At one point in my overall gambling career I literally put myself into living paycheck to paycheck. (While still making good $$!) I then hit that point of well this is dumb and I'm tired of it. I still enjoy gambling and do, but I've just came to a much better reason with myself. We do YOLO, but having to look for change in the couch to be sure the rent gets paid, yeah no I'm not doing that anymore!

    That's up there with my 27th birthday trip. I had a free flight, but didn't really have two nickels to rub together. I had a $40 bankroll per day. Honestly, one of the best trips every playing WWII $.07 a spin whilst the cocktails waitresses kept bringing me drinks. Going back to the basics and being poor gambling can be fun..haha
