TAKING A GAMBLE

If running to the casino is your kind of debt management, maybe giving this a read will change your mind.

First of all, casinos are not in the business of giving away money, they are in the business of making money. If this is a revelation to you, we are definitely on the right track. Why would any business give away more money than they make. It just does not make sense. In other words, going to the casino with the hope of winning and clearing your debt is a gamble in every sense of the word.

If you are already covered in debt, spending your precious remaining pennies on gambling is not a good idea. Rather put your allocated “gambling money” into a nice pink ceramic piggy bank. When it is filled up, toss it against the wall, pick up the money and go to the bank and start paying off that outstanding debt.

Still adamant on taking a gamble? Here is a good place to start then. Consolidating your debt can be done in many different ways. It will be wise to approach an agency that deals specifically with such cases. This is not a proven solution, but hey, if you are into gambling you should at least try it out.

I would suggest that it would be a better gamble to buy your wife a bunch of flowers and stand the chance of getting lucky, than going for a quick gamble and be sure to spend the night on the couch.
