"Took out payday loans due to a gambling addiction."

0

Just feel like I need to put this out into the world somewhere as I’m proud of myself.

I’m 25 and had a gambling addiction since 19, was working full time and had nothing to my name.

I racked up so many payday loans I had to go on a Part IX Debt Agreement (a form of bankruptcy in Australia) as the payments and interest were eating me alive and I was stuck in a vicious cycle.

I also had some minor debt from a year I went to UNI.

At the start of this week I paid the remaining balance on my UNI
