You started by using insider information to turn $5000 into $0. That was God telling you to find a new hobby.
just put the fries in the bag bro..
So naturally, I started gambling
Yeah
Next time you can try options, they are way faster than online casinos
Man you tried everything except getting a job.
Sir, I just asked for extra ketchup
“Racked up about 12k in debt so naturally started gambling”. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that’s not a natural reaction 
Good move on selling those guns..
If you’re unable to make your payment the interest rate will go through the moon and that $16K will metastasize in to $50K+ within just a few months.
If you don’t have a way to stop that from happening, you should consult proactively with a bankruptcy attorney. Don’t wait until they sue you.

Most gamblers stop right before they hit the big jackpot.
I get it, I do, but please just put the fries in the bag.
Every fast food restaurant I ever drive by is hiring and they all pay $20/hr now. Go work 100 hours a week and you’ll work your way towards paying it off. its a shitty answer and you wont like it, but its the right answer. you clearly wont pay it off by gambling more so its time to get a shitty job and bust your ass at it
You did insider trading and still lost money? Legend
Oh my gourd!

“So naturally, I started gambling.”
No job for a year and gambling? Have you tried walking up to a landscaping or construction site or something probably better than nothing for now. Good luck
not financial advice: make another high limit credit card/charge card, deposit $20k on an online casino and put it all on black. If you loose, declare bankruptcy, if you win, learn your lessons, pay off your debt and get a job.
Rookie numbers.
Looks like you need to go big in these next two days
At least you’re not drug addict, are you?
Thanks for the warning. Hope you’re doing alright
Wait, you had insider knowledge and the company you invested in went bankrupt? Bruh 🗿
Keep your head up bro, get help don’t kill yourself you’re life will get better if you want it to
Delete the app, problem solved
You used your credit cards to gamble???? Jeez
you had insider knowledge and the company filed for bankruptcy less than a month later? That is actually comical lmfao
Not as bad as some 🙁

How the fuck do you inside trade your way into bankruptcy. Holy fuck next level regard
Lol you went 20k into debt pulling internet slot machines – literally
Just hang out a while, you may be running this place in a couple years
That looks like screenshot from Amex app
Get some payday loans and full send it. Hurry and win it back
Your warning is useless. We are going to keep trading spy and MSTR options. We have seen plenty of post of people going from 1000 to 250000.
Not the amex bro
Reddit is cold with this ad. I thought someone was being a jerk until I saw the promoted tag 🤣

Buddyyyy.
I’ve seen the exact screen you are looking at right now. About 2-3 years ago!
Mine was maxed at about 16k then I had another one that had closed out at around 13k.
Find some roommates. Move in with family. Work 2 jobs. Work a bunch of overtime. Don’t buy a bunch of random stuff.
You’ll get out of the hole you’re in. There are people in way deeper financial holes. That one really isn’t THAT bad.
I’m now out of that financial hole, and just wanna tell you it will get better, you will have to work, but it will get better.
Why did you sell your guns? You got to have at least one to do some robbery and get back on track. In California you can steal items with a value of ~$900 and won’t get jailed.
Stop playing the casino you’re done my friend
Damn sorry to hear OP. Did you buy calls on your company because they threw a pizza party?
What casino games were you gambling on?
“They’re complementing me. Said my balance is ‘Outstanding!'”
My brother in Christ, this cautionary tale turned into a reddit roasting 😭😭😭. My condolences for your losses. You still have the air in your lungs, your sense of humor and no child looking up at you asking what will they eat. It may be small, but it all matters where you are now. Try gig based work for now.
