As a job.

Why would I want to work in a minimum wage job for 10 hours to make $150 that's taxed at 30%?

And when I could sit here in my jammies and put down a $200 wager on the next pitch.

And we're also living in a world where online credit is just way, way too easy.

When I was 19, I couldn't get a loan.

I didn't have a credit card.

I had my dad's ATM, and he was watching that thing like a hawk.

If I walked into a bank as a cop,

college student and said, I want a $5,000 loan with no collateral, there's no way.

Now I have patients getting $500,000 credit, predatory loans in a matter of minutes online.

You don't have a gambling problem if you don't have money.

But when you have access to money in very fast ways, that's what you get here.

Yeah, I completely agree.

And this actually reminds me of, you know, there's a difference between money you earn, money you inherit, and money you find in the street.

You have a different relationship to it depending on how you got it.

And even earning it, different ways you earn money, you'll have a different relationship to it.

You know, I have a friend who plays poker in those underground games in New York.

And, you know, the buy-ins on these tables are thousands of dollars.

So in a given night, he could lose and then gain $10,000.

And what does that do to your relationship with risk and money when you are fluctuating that much with your cash flow and how much money you're making?
