Say you didn't have to worry about financial issues for the rest of your life... I'm not saying you're a millionaire, but you somehow landed a job that is paying you enough to pay your mortgage, car payments, all your bills/expenses, etc etc with no problems, and you still have enough disposable income to live a comfortable life and not stress about monthly bills, kids college fund, etc.
Would you still gamble?
I'm trying to figure out what drives most degenerates on this site-- if it's actually the dream of living comfortably off gambling money, or if they do it purely for the action/high.
