• Answer:

  Pay yourself first..... Take the amount of cash and sock it away in a bank.. If you cannot stay away from the drugs,alcohol and gambling, you will NEVER have money, and there is no amount of advice from strangers on the internet that will change that fact. Until you form a healthy relationship with money... you are doomed to not have it... PERIOD...
