How do you afford punting?

Hi guys,

Long time lurker first time poster, and this is just a curiosity thing more than anything. Punting is not cheap (haha, with the exception of the occassional Locanto gamble). For our regulars, how do you afford it? Do you set a budget aside? Do you have a side gig? I mean, a good 150 punt even every few weeks adds up a lot, and that's from someone with a FT job.

Cheers,

PS> gonna post about this soon, but there's a private WL at Churchill Ave Strathfield, fake pictures, very disturbed, I think a little dangerous... keep clear if you are a Locanto-jockey.

Yes punting is expensive, but works out a lot cheaper than having a gf, mistress, wife or combination of the 3. It allows time to spend studying, developing side/passive income streams.

The amount have saved from punting is far greater than what I would have spent going out with partner/s for drinks, dinner, presents, birthdays etc.
I know a few bros at work whose partners don't contribute anything when they go out & they seem miserable.

Can get the benefits of a relationship: physical without the baggage and negative aspects such as the arguments. Can have hour of fun & walk-out.

For me, this is priceless and worth every penny.
