    down $12,300 so far this year

    my dad always asks me about my finances and that i need to start looking at buying a house cuz im 28 and still rent a 1 bedroom apartment. I lied and told him i have 30k saved up he says thats enough for a down payment on a nice pad, but i only have 2000 in my savings account cuz of gambling and blowing my money partying to stave off depression.

    Go play the back nine at pops' country club, Deemer. I'm sure he'll pick up the lunch tab, too.

    im trying to find a girl, i think that might calm me down cuz a lot of times i gamble out of sheer boredom. I just have no luck w/ girls either, this blonde chick i was gonna go on a date with asked me for $80 so she can pay for a sitter and i give it to her like an idiot and the bitch takes off on me and never answered my phone calls.

    bought my first house at 29 with my ex. not all its cracked up to be. obviously renting has no equity, but for some its the right solution for their situation.

    agreed, clearly if you got someone else to dedicate your time to you will stop gambling. and you will also be forced to be more careful with money cuz you got a family to take care of. As a single guy money has no value to a person. at least thats how I feel. I can lose 3-4 grand in a week and wouldn't give a shit cuz I got no one depending on me.

    thats exactly how i feel, i lost 2 grand in one day last month, went out that same night and spent another $500 at the club and as long as i had money left to pay for gas and groceries i didnt really give a fck. ive had my savings account down to about $50 this year.

    Dude, this is the opposite of discipline. You need to scale to a % of your bankroll. We all have done it. Some learn some never.

    I don't anyone that's been playing baseball that is up. It's not over but this could be the worse baseball season ever for the players. Some books like Heritage used to close during baseball season because they didn't want to deal the dime and get killed.

    Baseball's definitely been a clusterfvck this year. Feel like I'm chucking darts blindfolded more often than not.
