Nah, if you're going to hide your bad choices behind clinical language, then you need therapy. If you're not getting therapy and you have 50k to spend, then that's a you problem.

Some people don't realize they have a problem. I feel bad for those people.

The problem isn't that they "have 50k to spend", it's literally the exact opposite AND that they don't know it's a problem that they spend out on stupid shit like this grift.

If they spend 50k on a videogame, then they have 50k to spend by definition, whether or not it's actually their money. If it's not actually their money, then I have even less sympathy.

I'll give another example. I have a lot of sympathy for opiate addicts. I have zero sympathy for opiate addicts who steal from their friends and family.
