Hi again, it’s really importan that you plan your time. Find non gambling interests. it is also relly important not to do the hypothetical gambling. Do’t look at ods. if you can’t watch sports without being tempted to gamble then, for now at least, don’t watch sports. You will find out whether you are truly a sports fan, or a fan of betting on sports.
What happens a few years down the line when we have more savings? Well that largely depends on what you do now. If you find those other interests, if you pu the financial accountability in place and keep it in place, if when you have those extra savings you are stioll posting here, maybe geting to GA every week then you are more likely to remain gamble free.
Have you transferred those savings to your wife yet? Does she know why? Are you accountable for your other money?
Keep posting and let us know the positive steps you are taking.
