the wife of a friend got 450k insurance money after her brother was killed in an accident. 3 years later she's not only broke but 39k in debt borrowing 3k a pop to gamble with against the house they paid cash for. sold the house and the 39k left after the sale lasted 3 months. now she works a full week, gets paid monday night and is broke tuesday by noon. he gives her money for rent... poker machine. they get 6 months behind at times. gives her money for 3 months medicine for his epilepsy, she gets 30days worth and poker machines get the rest. she spends her paycheck ,his paycheck, his $550mnth SSI or disabilty check, her son's $650mnt SSi or disablitly check, the utilities and rent money, etc., etc., etc. all stay at the casino she walks to since they don't have a car, bicycle or anything.. her father invites her to go to the casino with him. she has to pay the gas to get there and give him money to gamble with but she goes every time. he has already spent his entire paycheck there earlier that week. her mother drives in from out of town every tuesday morning to take her to breakfast.. at the casino because she gets paid monday night. she shares her money with good ole mom as they gamble it all away and leave broke. if she happens to win a couple times.. that only means she stays gambling a little longer until it's all gone. her father borrowed 50k from his brother to repair his house and car after the hurricane supposedly. that lasted almost 2 whole weeks. he had no problem sitting there sometimes 2-3 days without leaving the casino once. I'd rather watch someone blow it all on drugs and booze than leave it in a poker machine. the buzz would last longer and get more for the money. an entire family of idiots
