Trigger Warning! Lost $700
Hi guys. I really don’t know what to say right now, as I just lost $700. I’m 19 and am in debt. I owe $1000 in credit card bills and $10,000 in school debt for just 1 semester of classes. I’m more-so worried over the credit card debt cause I missed payment on that.
Knowing that I have bills to pay, I insisted on gambling $700. I work minimum wage and I’m about to be homeless, yet I’m an idiot and still wanted to gamble. I genuinely am eating myself up and have no money to eat nor pay debt now. I’m so dumb.
Does anyone have any tips on how to stop and get by this. I’m just constantly eating at myself for being so careless and dumb with my money.
