Well I have decided that when it comes to my personal money out of my check for October, November and December of this year that I won't be gambling any more.  This month I finally bought my glasses that cost me $300 but I got two pair of glasses and an eye exam.  I have lost vision in my right eye so they could not correct it back to 20/20 but it is close.  In march of this year we took out a loan to repair the car but now my sonata needs brakes and new tires so I will be spending my available cash on that for the next three months to get ready for winter.  I will rely on my mother to give me money to play for tickets but I think that I will save the money for more loan payments the following month.  I really hate not having money of my own but the car is our life blood we can not live with out it so it falls on me to pay for it.  The money isn't going to come out of the sky and it is wasteful for me to try and win money when that good money can go to lowering my debt and be free of this loan.  It is just a burden that has been placed on me and when these three months are over everything will go back to normal.-weshar75
