We all know that money can cause major rifts in families, but what happens when a brother refuses to pay back a life-saving loan? Ten years ago, our protagonist (let’s call him ‘Gambler’) was in deep trouble due to a gambling addiction. His brother Seth stepped in, taking out a $12,000 loan to help Gambler repay his debts and start therapy. Fast forward a decade, and Seth is now asking for his money back, but Gambler isn’t quite ready to cough it up.

Money Matters: Is Gambler in the Right? ♂️
Gambler’s refusal to repay the $12k loan has led to a family feud, with Seth and his wife giving him the cold shoulder. Gambler argues that he’s helped Seth in the past and that helping should be mutual. He’s even outraged at the suggestion of being sued! As tensions rise, the question remains: is Gambler justified in his actions, or is he just avoiding responsibility? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
