While I was in college, not too long ago, I played poker with some college buddies. I did very well and things were fine. But as time went on, I found myself wanting to play for more money, which equals higher risk. When I would lose, you have to sooner or later; I would use my school funds to play more. When those ran out, I would just take another student loan out. My mind frame was worry about things later, out of sight out of mind. As things contoured, the loans started to add up. When things are all said and done, I have my college degree, but I also have more money in student loan debt than twice what my house is worth. I got therapy over this, and my wife has told me she forgives me and that money is just money. But the thought of those 2-3 years of terrible mistakes will ruin/finically drain me for the next 30 yearsI don’t know what to do. I understand that I have to live up to my mistakes, but I had a disease, it took over my life. Please, help, any tips, ideas?
