<prompt> Human: Ok so the other day i lost some 60k usd gambling like a fucking idiot, I told 2 of my friends to invest in a crypto and i sold that to try recoop my loses and now that share has nearly doubled, so basically to buy back there crypto its around 40k the rest is mine which i dont really care about because i deserve it i just need a plan to get back those shares and if i should tell them or not  <response>: 1. Seek help for the gambling problem. This is not meant to be a snarky comment. You bet 60k you clearly could not afford to lose. Seek third party help. Thats the best finance move you can make right now. 2. Tell your friends. Theyll be furious, but theyre going to be furious no matter what you do. Dont make them think they have money they dont have. They need to know.
