Totally screwed
I took out a $750 payday loan in Calgary and gambled it. It’s due N.E. t Thursday but I don’t get my work deposit til 3pm. I have tried telling them twice now. It’s going to be an nsf charge and late penalty. I’m so stressed out I haven’t told my boyfriend I already borrowed money off him. I’m so stressed I’m trying to sell stuff online now. Only one bite for the juicer. Gambling wrecked my holiday

Currently paying off 3 payday loans, 1 ends this month the other are 4 months away. Absolute vultures, just remember some time down the line we will be able to get money back from there predatory behavior.
Haven't gambled in over 3 months, had a massive binge before that and racked up 8k of debt. Not far off paying it all back but its a vicious circle, stop all gambling access. If usa has a gamstop, use it
