The Covid-19 pandemic has brought significant repercussions to the global economy, especially in countries severely affected by the crisis, such as Japan. Once the situation was somewhat under control, the Japanese government planned aid packages to revive the economy. By simply registering, each person in Japan can receive up to 100,000 yen, equivalent to over 21 million VND. How this money is used has become a hot topic of discussion.
Among them, a 43-year-old man surprised the community. Isolated at home, from a person of status, he became a gaming addict and spent a lot of time and money on entertainment. Eventually, when he was “exhausted,” this man had to seek government assistance to resolve his living issues.
The subject of this article is a 43-year-old man, an editor at an online comic company with an annual income of 5 million yen (equivalent to 1 billion VND). Due to the pandemic, this man spent too much time and money playing card games. Not only did he exhaust his credit card, but this “gamer” also borrowed money from various sources to satisfy his passion.
Each time he topped up his game account, up to 100,000 yen (over 21 million VND), it’s worth mentioning that this was not just once; during a short period, from New Year to Valentine’s Day, this man made excuses to spend money on games.
He even does not remember how many times he has dedicated to the game he played. Not only using his own money, but this man also borrowed from his parents. In the end, with no resources left, this gamer was forced to seek government aid.
Sadly, this man, before becoming an “addict,” was a person of status with a stable family. However, now, his wife has taken their daughter back to her parents’ house. Seeing that saving this marriage was impossible, the father-in-law even urged his daughter to proceed with a quick divorce to escape a life of debt with a “gaming addict.”
This is a significant lesson for gamers who have spent too much time gaming, leading to losing control of everything in life. Always remember, gaming is for entertainment; don’t become so immersed that you lose valuable things in your life.
