I don't care about the actual money, and caring about the source of the money seems kind of stupid (no offense).

None taken. To explain, I think this approach has been my mental way of saying "go ahead and treat yourself". Something I can afford to do anyway but don't for whatever reason (leftover thriftiness from being poor?). So when I get a windfall of some kind I think "I didn't have this money yesterday so who cares if I don't have it tomorrow, let's go spend it." These are the games I play. Just trying to suss out if others do the same.

I think this kind of thinking would lead to problems for me at least, I value every dollar that comes in as if I "earned" it. ESPECIALLY if you gamble for a living you cant really separate a windfall from earned money, because too often you would be using money that you didn't "earn" to blow on stuff you dont need, hence why I treat all incoming funds as earned income.

I would never do this if I gambled for a living. It is just a hobby for me. When I did play for my sole income I did not have this approach.
