My roommate works in tech and earns roughly double what I make, yet somehow I always end up with more spending money by month's end. His secret is terrible budgeting; mine is boring discipline. When he suggested a casino night, I agreed on the condition that we both set limits. I pulled up the ***** details to figure out the practical side and we made it an experiment: his budget was triple mine. Two hours later his budget was gone and mine had a fifty-dollar survivor playing penny slots. He watched in horror as I sipped a free coffee and slowly lost three dollars over an hour. "That's not even gambling," he said. Correct. That's entertainment with a near-guaranteed outcome. He's since adopted my method, poorly. Some lessons require repeated losing to stick.
