There are various online casinos in which he gambled and ended up in debt of around $18,000. Already his father is a middle-class family member and his father works hard enough to get him a job and manage his money by borrowing heavily but by this time he is 18 thousand dollars in debt due to gambling. Not only did he lose $18,000 by gambling, but he ended up with eighteen thousand dollars in debt, and he also lost money by gambling out of his salary.
I don't owe you $18K so we may not understand it but the one I shared with understands how heavy the burden of debt is.
But If I should understand, is the $18,000 the sum total of his debt in gambling ever since he joined the Bangladesh Military? Or is the amount his debt in gambling only this year 2023? Which are you referring to? Because I'm still kind of confess on why will an individual like him from a middle class family go gamble a huge amount like this he can't afford to lose, if this could not be a product of greed and carelessness, as it's people like this who gives bad name to gambling, simply because they were unable to control their emotions & quest to get rich overnight. Hence, the only solution will be for him to pay for his debt, while others learn from this to gamble only what they can all afford to lose.
