It's important to recognize that gambling should never take priority over your basic necessities. Gambling should be viewed as an enjoyable activity, not a primary source of income. If you find yourself struggling to make ends meet due to gambling, it may be a sign of a gambling problem.

To avoid such issues, you can establish a financial plan and budget to aid in managing your income. Determine your regular expenditures and allocate sufficient money for them. Setting aside a portion of your income for personal expenditures, including entertainment and gambling, is important.

Another approach is to consider setting a limit on how much money you spend on gambling. This involves establishing a fixed amount of money that you can bet on any given day, and sticking to it. It's also critical to avoid chasing losses or making impulsive decisions, as this can exacerbate financial difficulties.

Overall, it's crucial to keep a balanced view towards gambling and incorporate it into a healthy financial routine. By prioritizing your basic needs, making a budget, and setting limits, you can reduce the risks involved in gambling and decrease the potential for financial problems.
