        Like $2000-$2200. It’s not a ton but it’s not gambling $2 on a lottery ticket. That was supposed to be their honeymoon money not his gambling money.

        Dude has a big problem and that’s ignoring the mermaid sized one in his house.

    This was all that was in my head when he came home to his girl in a fucking mermaid tail.

    Yep, seems on par.

      Yeah what’s the deal with the South Africans and gambling? If that’s what Wayne is doing…maybe it’s a common problem there?

    so fucking stupid, but remember that 40k Rand is about $2100.

    it’s no Gino nest egg!

        nah, take a look at the subs about finance in ZA.

        most ppl here find it impossible to even save $100 a month. the cost of living is soaring and the majority of ppl are in a scary amount of debt.

        there’s no way that, with a struggling business, he had forty grand in USD budgeted just for a HONEYMOON!

      I had presumed he was talking in dollars for Holly’s benefit… But ok, 2100 is far more reasonable. Still dumb tho

        The amount isn’t terrible but the worst part is that money was set aside for their honeymoon and he gambled it away.

    Don’t forget it was 40k in crypto in African money, so it’s actually about 2,150 in the American dollar. It’s still a big chunk of money over there and was a dumb thing to do, but its not nearly as bad as it sounds. I look at it as the same as the people who get caught up in pyramid schemes, but least he didn’t spend years of his life working on it

      Crypto is no doubt stupid af, but people do make money on it - i made $100k USD in 2021. In fact, now is probably the best time to DCA a small amount in every month.

      Secret sauce is to not over leverage yourself, only invest what you can afford to lose, and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

      That’s what I was wondering cuz that’s a big difference still a good amount but 40k rand is only like 2k USD. Now if it was 40k USD that’s wild lol
