Well, in my life, I love to consider the very important things first, which includes every primary need, after which I can move over to secondary needs. I cannot use my rent money to gamble because I know that there is a high possibility that I could still lose the game and my money will be gone. If that happens to be my only hope, that means I will end up being embraced and living on the streets.
There are some risks I cannot take, and one of them is that I cannot gamble with something that was not planned to be used for gambling.
Although in the past, while I was still in school, I did take this similar risk, the money I used was small, and I know that my parents will still come to my aid if I reach out to them. Now, I can't take such a risk again unless I have a plan B.
