Do you see playing the lottery and gambling at a casino as one in the same? If you don't, you may be fooling yourself. Gambling is gambling is gambling, including your state-sponsored lottery.
The cold, hard truth is that while there are a few people who do win, the vast majority of folks who gamble do not win. If they do win from time to time, then it's likely that the money that they had already spent on gambling prior to the win far exceeds the amount that they may have won. Gambling is a horrible return on investment, especially when you're trying to get yourself out of debt.
Gambling is a slippery slope. You may start out small, but over time, you may find yourself gambling more frequently or in larger amounts (and possibly both). You train your brain to believe in the possibility of an easy road, an easy win, a way that will provide you with enough money to get out of debt. Guess what? There isn't an easy solution. The only solution to earning more money is to increase the time and resources that you put into old-fashioned work. That strategy works each and every time.
