The Market Killed my VP Budget

Post by olds442jetaway »

I doubt I am the only one. I will still go, but be much more careful playing and stingy with my bets. Most likely will drop down to nickels at least for now.

At least you are still going. Hard to abandon that suite life! I find myself wanting to go more often. An effective stress outlet valve. I may hit an even more important hand pay. Must stick mostly with quarter. One hour max dollar machines will avoid a bust outcome.

People, people, people...

The market and your VP budget should never, NEVER, intersect.

Now, write on the chalkboard:

I will keep my gambling budget separate from other money.
I will keep my gambling budget separate from other money.
I will keep my gambling budget separate from other money.

Caterpillar Inc. abandoned Deerfield, IL for Irving, TX. They’ve also had it with Chicagoans.

It’s more of a mental thing than anything else. Knowing that vp at least for me is a negative cash flow by year end and the stock market most likely being the same, just bothers me. I’m only 20 percent or so in the market anyway, so even if the market went to 0, I would be fine financially. It is just the perception and yes reality that money is going down the drain faster than I would like and I do have control of the stopper at least with vp.
