I Get Paid Next Week.

With the economy the way it is it is all too tempting to think your luck will change and you'll be the next big lottery winner. Or the next big winner in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. The glitz and posh surroundings make it easy to forget your cares and dream big. They treat you like royalty as they fill your drinks and make sure you are pampered an fussed over.

Did it ever occur to you how those casinos got to be so fabulous and ornate? Did you stop to think how the slot machines are always new? All of this is a direct result of the money you plunk down and lose...over and over.

It disturbs me when I have someone who obviously can't afford to go to Las Vegas, or Atlantic City, trying in vain to book the vacation on maxed out credit cards. Or the ones who ask if they can pay part of it now and part of it later. Or the ones that will ask me to "hold" the reservation until payday. Or the worst, asking if they can use multiple credit cards.

Don't do it. If you feel so lucky you MUST gamble then buy a one dollar lotto ticket. If you win, and win big, then by all means, book that trip!
