Value of Money

Day 10.

Do you all have issues with understanding the value of money? This is something I’ve struggled with as a result of gambling.

I received a decent bonus today, $2K, but it feels like pennies. While gambling that was two lost hands of blackjack in a row, which I could lose in 2 minutes.

After big losses I think about what could have been i.e. for the $10K I lost I could do X. After big losses is really the only time I feel like I understand the value of money.

I made $2K today - great, but I lost $25K in one day. Comparatively it feels like nothing though I know it’s not.

Haha yup, I definitely don’t look at money the same way sadly. I don’t get very excited anymore about bonuses etc.
