[QUOTE="Andy, post: 224933, member: 5096"] :rofl: Oh KLMNO, we did talk to him about the legal age of gambling and that it had to be at a casino in our state or the horse track. I do play the lottery tickets every once in awhile and am trying to teach him that I only do so if I have a few EXTRA dollars and don't expect to win. Sometimes he will ask if I am going to buy one and I will say, "Nope, I need the money to buy lunch." So hopefully he is learning that the gambling is not a way to make money because you usually will not. One of those areas that I want to teach him the appropriate time and place if at all. I used to be dead set against it in any form but have relaxed my standards to allow it if I can afford to loose the money I put into it. Many people go with a certain amount of money and cut the activity once that money is gone. It takes more strength for some than others to do so. I just hate to see people getting into financial difficulty when they take gambling too far. But it is fun! :) I also want him to learn that money issues between the best of friends can ruin a friendship. You really don't know another person until you get into finances with them. So best to just keep finances personal. [/QUOTE]
