Gambling, Is It Practical?

I may not comprehend very well why some people should go out for trips going to places where they can have an ultimate gambling experience like Las Vegas while in fact they can just do the online casino. I really think it isn't practical at all to go somewhere else while you can just sit comfortably in your own chair at home. But oh well, it's their life. They probably wouldn't do just to gamble but also to do other stuff aside from that. What I don't understand is that why other people is so willing to spend on to some things that aren't necessary. Shall we say, playing casino is their favorite past time, yeah right but is it really needed to spend that much money on it? It is okay to gamble though as long as you do it in moderation.

I grew up to be poor. My family was poor (until now) and we only had very limited resources so my parents tried really hard to support us and sent us all to school. My father especially, was always very tight with his money which I can deeply understand for he was the only one working in the family of 9. I could remember him always telling us if we had extra money left from school, we should always keep it for the next day because we will never know if he can come up some money in the next day to give us. So I learned so much from my experience with my father.

I learned to be frugal all my life. I always think there is no one out there to give me some money if I need it. Not even my parents or my siblings. I learned how it is to work hard so you can earn. With the kind of life I am living now, I should say I am more comfortable than I was before in the Philippines. I am living the American dream which my husband provided for me and our baby. Thanks to him but even that, I still try to be good at handling money. I tend to be tight sometimes too if I have to because time will come we need it. It's like saving up for the rainy season. And that rainy season will soon to come...but I doubt if what I've saved up for a year would be enough?
