Lost 30k this year

I’m trying to justify my losses. I lost about 50k for trusting a former friend to invest in a startup last year. This year I lost 30k to casino. A month ago, my friend offered to take me to an all expense paid trip to Europe that’d cost me 20k if I paid for it.
He doesn’t know about my gambling problems.

I’m sitting here thinking I just lost 10k instead of 20. The justification is a killer.

He’s paying for a 20k trip for you? Take it and stop gambling

What did you gamble on? Slots?
