[quote=Anonymous]I was shocked when my (socially) conservative, extremely responsible grandmother started to gamble. She had finally divorced my abusive, controlling grandfather after 35 years. She went to work to build up her financial security and I could not understand why she would gamble. So I asked. After all those years of accounting for every cent to her parsimonious husband, she loved doing something utterly frivolous with some of her money. It was a way of reveling in her autonomy. She was very strict about how much she would gamble and never had any problems. It was a source of entertainment and although I don’t care for it myself, I understand why she did. [/quote]
