myths that I see happening on social media, people talking about money everywhere now.

Some stuff is really helpful, some things are not.

What would you say is the biggest money myth that you're seeing online right now on social media that you think we should debunk or you think just doesn't really have any weight right now?

Yeah, it's very addictive.

It's very like adrenaline rush.

That's crazy.

Maybe I'll win something.

And if you won that, you're going to try to double down again, probably.

Of course you are.

And then you're going to lose it eventually.

You're not going to say, you know what?

I'm just a one and done thing.

I'm only going to gamble one time, win big, and then stop forever.

yeah if you're gonna gamble you need to look at it as entertainment yeah and just say if i go to vegas and i spend like three hundred dollars on roulette yeah it's like 200 for you 300 for me i'm a little more risky you know 300 bucks i'm like all right this is my two hour window it's like going to a very expensive movie i'm watching a movie yeah it costs money win or lose i walk away being entertained yeah but not risking like i need this money

And there's an energy around going into gambling.

I always go in having fun.

I used to, when I was poor, like 15 years ago, I used to go gamble and $100 was like everything to me.

And I had this kind of anxious energy where I really didn't want to lose the money.

And I lost it every time.

Exactly.
