"Not only is gambling an example of extremely poor money management, it can literally ruin lives and families. Millions of Americans are now classified as compulsive gamblers, leading to great financial and social hardships. The rates of divorce, abuse, homelessness, suicide and many other ills are significantly higher in families of gambling addicts. Teens, too, are becoming hooked on gambling via the Internet, lotteries and video gambling. If you or someone you love is addicted to gambling, it's time to get help"

This is the problem of taking something too seriously. If only people would know how to control themselves, I don't think it would come up to this point of addiction. However, we can't blame them. Those 'gambling addicts' have the resources to play this luxurious game and so sometimes I think, thanks God I am not rich!  |

ROFL, scuba diving?! How do you get addicted to that?! But gambling is kind of different i wouldn't say completely but its fairly different. And you can lose much more money on gamlbing than just scuba diving.  |
