As a compulsive gambler, I always have a fear of not being able to keep (hold) money for very long. Although this fear never prevented me from gambling in the past.
If I could hope or wish for one thing, it would be to be able to trust myself with money. To not continue to have this feeling that the money is burning a hole in my pocket until I can get to the casino to gamble.
I guess for now as some of you have said, it may be better to turn finances over to someone else. In my case, I have married again and my new wife is much younger than I am. If it were not for my gambling, I would say that I am smarter, and more knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to money. However, because of my gambling, I don’t really have a problem to turn most of my finances over to my wife.
I know that she would make better decisions and put the money to better use than I would..at least for now.
