You ppl of US may say it's little, but age 19 and usually they'd earn 120$ a month

650$ is alot to him, especially with his family, life, work circumstances.

$650 is a lot to a good portion ofAmericans too. That's why I wouldn't fucking gamble it if I didn't have it. And what a dumb fucking way to take your life. Why make yourself suffer as much as possible? It's all dumb.
