I indirectly made my friend spend all his money on a bar hostess.
Context
So, this happened a few years ago and I still can’t believe that my friend had squandered away his wealth just like this.
My friend made a whopping 320k in just a few months from his commissions, and somehow, I got involved in his terrible spending decisions.
I introduced him to a life of partying and then fooling around with the bar hostesses who entertained us while we were drinking.
Subsequently, he became obsessed with one of the particular hostess at this place where we used to frequent a lot and he ended up spending his entire fortune on her.
He not only became her top supporter, following her wherever she works but also showered her with expensive gifts.
All in all, he bought her two 30k handbags and other luxuries such as jewelries and watches. He even took her on dates worth 4k/date and paid for several overseas trips with her.
The worst was ever since he earned that 320k, he did not put in effort in his work which is pretty much commission based and therefore while he was spending money, there were no new forms of income coming in.
Fast forward to now, and he’s broke with no money and needless to say, the hostess left him.
While the hostess is enjoying her new wealthy life now, he is left all alone and needing to rebuilt whatever he had before from scratch.
As a friend, I can’t help but feel somewhat responsible for not stopping him.
