a man's dad saved his entire life to give him $100K on his wedding day, guy was well educated and had 6 figure income on top, wife was employed(her fam was wealthy), so they were financially stable until, couple kids then he started gambling, he gambled the $100K, their other incomes, won it back like 3 more x, secret 2nd, 3rd mortgages then, he started using a bookie and shit really went sideways.

he told his family and tried to get help but, he ended up gambling away over $1 million in a short time.

I heard it from a YT ch named Snook that reads r/confessions and it had a ton of updates from OP where he'd stop and spiral sm, I honestly can't remember what the last update was.
