Financial Ramifications of Gambling Addiction

I think most of us have daydreamed about making or winning a bunch of money. I mean, who wouldn’t want to come into money? It’s a thrilling thought. The lottery or gambling is built on the dream of hitting it big. But what happens when it goes too far and impacts your finances and life? In this episode, I talk to Dave Yeager, a recovering gambling addict, about how gambling addiction took hold of his life on active duty, its negative impacts on his life and money, and how he got help through the VA.  Dave is an 11-year veteran of the US Army and is in recovery from gambling addiction. Dave hosts the Problem Gambling Podcast for military service members. He also serves on the military committee for the National Council on Problem Gambling.
