depends on how u were brought up. I was brought up in a poor family and i went through alot. We had nothing, and we were living down to the dollar. The one thing im proud to get out of this suffering is determination and the way i look at life and money now. I used my determination to get to where i am today but im not taking it for granted. Ive seen what pokies has done to those around me and those I know. Only idiots play pokies, I see it this way. You win this week! you invest in that machine again. You never WIN!
