But right now the priorities are to make money and build up my savings so I am better prepared for situations like "Black Friday" in the future.
My spending habits in the past were out of control and most people do not believe me at first but once I break it down they nod in total shock. The past few years my monthly expenses were just under $20,000 a month. Luckily in that time I was making just over $20,000 a month but I was spending everything I made and never saving any money. This is obviously a problem when all of a sudden the Department of Justice decides to take away my opportunity to earn income. "
And in my arguments for online poker (to family, etc.), I alway say what a great tool poker is for teaching money management. Ooops.
I think there are more dumbasses in poker than I give credit. And when they are that stupid, they scam people because they don't know how else to get out of the trouble they put themselves in. Shame.
