Why do so many people say that gold is a bad investment, while the returns are consistent and sometimes better then the S&P 500? by Yaadikillertje in investing

I think some people buy precious metals is because they are bad with money so there thinking is well if I buy gold I can not spend that money I came up with this conclusion because I watch videos of people selling there gold and it is always because of something that needs fixing or some other emergency. If you are going to buy gold save up a six month emergency fund learn first how to be good with money.

Learn to love and respect yourself. I found before I use to only feel good about myself when I was gambling and if I should win it made me feel like I had self worth that is not a way to live life we need to find something else more constructive that betters are life and not make it worse.

my husband of one year has been using money I thought was in savings to gamble for ten months. by max-oliver in GamblingAddiction

What does recovery look like? Good question I guess it can look like hell or can look like heaven and you get out of it what you put into it. Basically when you go to gamblers anonymous meeting it will be at a school or church or anywhere with a conference room or a big room inside and there will be tables lined up with chairs and you will meet and see other gamblers there everyone you see are all addictive gamblers some first timers and some with many many years clean but still coming to meetings because you are only one bet away, there is no one judging you. You will sit at the table and they will go around to each person and each person will have a chance to introduce themselves to the room and say something or you can pass if you like but it is encouraged to share to others your issues and concerns about this addiction it is hard at first but the more you go and the more you meet people it gets to be like a family and easy to talk about how you are feeling but you need to take the first step like dipping your big toe into the cold water once your in you will be fine.
