Yeah, accepting a job offer is a gamble. Buying a house is a gamble. Getting married is a gamble.
But here's the very worst gamble, featuring the very worst odds: Gambling.
I guess we're "supposed" to gamble because it's "fun" and also because if we don't, we are kind of wussy and afraid of life. You know, like we were supposed to buy crypto for pretty much the same reason a couple of Superbowls ago. And before that, we were supposed to smoke this or that brand of cigarettes to achieve the same result- to have fun and be seen as cool, if not trailblazers.
I missed getting in on the ground floor of smoking and crypto, and I'm going to miss the current Do This Or You're a Buzzkill Grampa trend, which I guess is making sports more "fun" by betting your financial stability on the performance of millionaires playing what I thought was just a game. It's not that I don't want to be cool; it's just that I can't afford it.
