Re: How to tell girlfriend about amount of money spent playing poker
[ QUOTE ]
She doesn't approve of 'gambling' and while she knows I am a winning player, doesn't like that it adds nothing to society.

It's probably more important that you not associate with people for whom you need to plan strategies to justify your existence. Four years is a long time but you have a lot more to go.

It's definately a bad idea to consider marrying someone who doesn't "approve" of what you do. I think it's very arrogant when one person thinks that how another person makes a living needs to meet their own personal moral standards. Tell her you'll start contributing to society when society makes your car payment, pays your rent, electric bill, cable bill, health insurance bill, and buys you food, clothes, flatsrceen TVs, and kitchen gadgets.
Don't entangle yourself with people who hold wildly different values than you do. It won't end well.
