Literally any place you put your money is gambling. Its impossible not to gamble if you have money.

Not to be obtuse, but for what definition of putting money, and what definition of gambling? I think it's reasonable to distinguish between, say, holding Berkshire Hathaway and day trading. And I'm not sure that you can lump the two together into a definition of gambling that doesn't end up being too broad to be useful.
There's a difference between buying groceries for your family and losing that same amount of money on a hand of poker.
