I came across this article from Kellogg Insight showing how online sports betting is eating into people’s savings. Some are spending hundreds—sometimes thousands—a month, draining their financial future

As real estate investors, we know that wealth isn’t built by hoping for the next big win—it’s built by making calculated, smart moves. But with gambling being so accessible, people are throwing away home down payments without even realizing it.

💡 Are you seeing this trend in your network? Are potential buyers/investors struggling to build savings because of spending habits like this?
🤔 How do we shift the mindset from short-term thrills to long-term financial freedom through real estate?
🔥 Have you successfully helped someone redirect bad financial habits into real estate investments? Let’s discuss!
