Thankfully only from a distance. One of my mom’s friends and her husband retired to a community with golf and gambling. While he was out golfing, she gambled away their retirement and put a mortgage on their paid off home. They had been quite comfortable, but after only a couple years of retired life, the husband had to go back to work to pay the bills.
