Every single month, my dad will go piss away 5-600 dollars of his social security check within days of getting it then complain to me about not having any money and expecting me to manage his finances to make sure he can pay his bills, yet never listens to me when I tell him not to do this. He's constantly falling for honeypot scams too and has wasted thousands on gift cards over the years.
Gambling addiction is really one of the worst ones. Its just goes so fast. Give a fent addict $50 and he will be happy for the night. Give a gambler $50 And he will be happy for 5 minutes.
