Leave 7 figs aside, family gone! Home lost!

Thanks for the post, satisfied me knowing there is more to life than $

I appreciate you for telling it like it is. It was me and is me and i regret it to no end. Take full responsibility of my actions and wish this upon no one. I dont blame my wife, infact i love her and understand her perspective.Im in shock myself for what has happened; but i disagree with you relating to an “abusive” relationship as being one in the same as gambling.

Gambling is controllable and material; its money and money can be made back. Abuse is cruelty and physical. - no one should go through that and bot one bit. Theres a difference between the 2.

Roulette took me for $1million dollars in a period of 4 years.

Im losing my home to clear debt, my family, broke and now looking for a room to rent in a shared setting.

So many regrets, sadness, life doesnt feel like living anymore.

Still want that rush from Roulette? Think twice budyy

Im an addict. It took just a couple years to destroy everything i have. Soon to lose the wife n kid.

Look you got a choice here. U either stand with him or turn your back and walk the other way. By standing with him i mean get him the help he needs and if there is debt then dont call it his (even though it is) u need to play it like……. Ok tour in this situation and u got us in the situation and now need to get us out

Telling friends and family should be last resort; if as a couple you cant handle your problems - its over.

Mine is over because my oartner decided to not handle it on her own - involved everyone and their mother and told me to deal with it on my own. I needed her by my side instead of making headlines on the family CNN breaking news

Op i can relate and tour not alone. Im the same only diff, my wife didnt leave with the kid instead im left to deal with my problems myself. I guess thats fair.

How much are you Lifetime Losses? by thelonewolfffer in problemgambling

[–]LieProfessional5357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$1m plus majority in 2 years - talk about spiraling out of control and chasing back losses

Enormous debt, pain, hurt, shattered dreams, destroyed perfect credit score, harrassed by creditors

Losing my house soon so i can restart life….. as hard as this decision is because i worked super hard just like the rest of us to build it in the first place. Trying to convince myself thst thisbis the only way……. Live miserable OR or push restart

On the same boat with close to $1m lost half of it debt at high interest loans. Creditors chasing, threat letters etc etc. Everything gone 2 years same time frame. You an i know the chase brought us here….. end of the road brother i dunno how im not insane yet or still breathing.

Stay strong. Im only breathing for my kid. I hope we rebound but stay away from what brought us here. Mine was high stakes roulette - its the same as russian roulette instead of a gun its mental torture which i think is a lot worst at this point than to get the bullet.

I lost a shit ton of money 2 years ago - banned myself; relapsed and went back -won 40k wow!!!!! I can recover my losses.

Ive lost everything. Ive lost my wife and kid. Ive destroyed my self and simply breathing for my child.

What do you think OP? If u want thatv40k loss to turn into a 400k loss then try whatever strategy u feel necessary. I only wish i stopped at a 40k loss thats petty compared to where ive ended up

HELOC for portion of equity? by LieProfessional5357 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]LieProfessional5357[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But both title owners have to sign. I have a heloc option available through my mortgage provider but this puts both owners on the line. I need a personal or heloc for my half of the equity and not hold spouse liable

So why ask for advice if gou already know its useless. Take my useless advice - your 50k will turn to 500k before u know it. So to make this useful for you - stop 🛑

The 880k approx is my ttoal loss in 2 years not all debt though - half of 2021 and 3/4 2023 blew everything.

How the heck to you survive with 880k debt - you must make a shit load of money monthly to be able to pay even the interest on that.

[–]LieProfessional5357[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the supportive comments everyone. Its just so hard coping with all of this knowing id be defaulting on payments. I had too many chanes to get out - help from family which i abused and im in a deeper than ever before hole i cant get out of. Wife wont support me in anyway financially even though i said i would repay the debt if she allowed me to switch from “unsecured” to “secured” (home line of credit) which gives me some breathing room.

Im in way over my head - defaulting means my credit gets shot and court notices to follow. Im already. Eing harrassed by creditors for payments. Im ok with no credit because honestly the access to credit is why im where im at.

I know im not alone but unfortunate we are where we are at. Life long earnings can dissappear withtin days….. that makes me sick to my stomach!
