Whenever we "get ahead" we like to say we're playing with "their money". I do have issues with that. I mean, isn't it your money when you have it? If I put it in my purse it's my money. If I walk out the door, it's my money. If I buy something to eat, it's my money.
Unfortunately, when we win and are ahead, we use this as an excuse to go crazy. To act stupid. To do something we wouldn't normally do. I mean, after all, it's "their money", right? What do crazy actions matter because it's "their money".
A long time ago someone said to me "That's your money. Put it in your pocket" I so started to see it that way. Yes, it's mine and I am not going to change the way I gamble because I have this extra money. I am going with a plan and I am going to stick with the plan. The #1 goal is to LEAVE A WINNER. I am never going to forget that!!!
