Hello Meghna,
please stop thinking about the money you lost and the money you still need to make your deposit for the house, that’s a very good trigger to start gambling.
U can buy one of those investment pots that banks offers ( not sure about the right english term for it) u make the deposit and the bank keeps the money away for a year and gives it back with some interest. i think that’s the best way to save your money is to keep it out of your reach for a good amount of time.
U made this money once and you will make it again, do not worry.
” So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten” Joel 2:25
Keep praying, and i’m praying for you.
Stay strong, and please stop thinking about the money.
Amir
