5 - GAMBLING & FINANCIAL COUNSELLING

---

 

 

Gambling and compulsive spending besides causing financial hardships can have more serious social consequences and contribute to family tensions and breakdown. In some cases it can lead to a tendency for criminal behaviours.

 

Trying to ‘win your way out of debt’ is a self destructive outlook shared by a number of people who have gambling and compulsive spending behaviours. This self destructive outlook needs to cease in order for progress to be made. Nothing is for nothing is a better understanding of the situation. Borrowing for non-asset spending and gambling is also a dangerous self destructive tendency that needs to be guarded against.
