So even if you bet money to feel something the stakes are arbitrary. Really it wont change your lifestyle habits, will be just an arbitraty number in your bank account - no different than your 401k + investment portfolio swinging on a single days S&P volatiltiy. Brag to all your friends, finally get that new playstation youve been eyeing but cant afford, etc.īut if you are any white collar professional and you win $150, or $1,500, or even $15,000 who gives a shit. Dont get me wrong, I get if you work at Burger King, have a sportsbook app, and you win $150 on a 3 game parlay you can feel incredible. I know the world feels like it's coming to an end, but start working towards your recovery and when you look back in a year you will be amazed at how far you've come.

Think of it this way, there are plenty of first-year associates who are in more debt than you from MBA.īut you are done gambling now - hard stop.
