is this a good solution to problem gambling? Here is how I figure it out 1. You gather up your monthly bills, with the most important ones you pay first, my bills are important in this order per month: rent (640 but i live with 2 roommates so it's 3 way 220), electric (40), car insurance (80), phone (50), internet (45), food (60), gas (60), dining out (120), (there are other things such as clothing and car maintenance but it's not much money for me cause I got enough clothes and my car is well maintained) so my total living expense per month is 675. I use credit cards to charge up food, gas, and many of my expenses and I pay them off at the end of the month. 2. You find out how much you make a month, my job can give me a take home of about 630 but if i work a lot of overtime i can take home about 1250 (net pay) so I do 6 hours overtime so i take home 750 a week, you multiply that by 4 or 5 cause some months have 4 weeks, some have 5 and you get 3000 or 3750, 3000 - 675 = 3325 i save 2800 on a 4 week month and gamble 500 and i win
