đ âI Was Earning âš6000 a Day⌠But Still Got Trapped in Debt

đ° The Beginning: Easy Money from Online Gaming
I started playing online gamesââânot just for fun, but because I was good at it.
Soon, I was earning âš6000ââš8000 daily. For someone with no job and mounting pressure, this felt like a miracle.
But it wasnât.
At first, it felt like I had unlocked a secret income stream. Money started flowing in. I didnât even need to leave my home. My confidence grewâââand so did my greed.
âď¸ The Trap: Win, Play Again, Lose It All
The real problem began when I couldnât stop.
Even after earning âš6000 in a day, I thought:
âWhat if I can push for âš10,000 today?â
And like every addictive pattern, I started losing.
Not once. Not twice. Every time I crossed the winning line, I gave it all back.
What started as âquick profitâ became chronic loss.
đ¨ The Breakdown: Frozen Accounts & âš8 Lakh Debt
Things got worse.
Banks froze my accountsâthey flagged my transactions as suspicious or related to illegal gaming.
Credit card debts shot upâââand without control, I maxed out âš8 lakhs.
Thatâs when the mental crash hit.
- I had no savings.
- I was avoiding friends and family.
- I was planning to take more debt to cover old debt.
- My brain was stuck in a dopamine loopâââwin, lose, play again.
âď¸ The Turning Point: Enough Was Enough
One day, I looked in the mirror and said:
âIf I donât stop now, Iâll destroy everythingâââmy money, my mind, my future.â
That same night, I did something radical:
- Uninstalled all gaming apps.
- Set a Daily Limit Rule:
âEarn âš6000 and STOP. No more.â - Created a Debt Tracker to repay âš8 lakh in 5â6 months.
- Told myself: No more games, no more loans.
đ§ The New Game: Discipline
Now, I treat my finances like a game I must winââ
but this time, the enemy is not the game, itâs my impulses.
Hereâs what I do daily now:
- Win â Lock 80% profit â Pay off credit card
- Track every rupee I earn or spend
- Focus on building new skills (freelancing, side income)
- Practice mental disciplineâââdopamine detox
đ The Plan: Be Debt-Free in 6Â Months
With strict control, Iâm now on track to repay my âš8 lakh debt by November 2025.
Every day I winââânot just moneyâââbut self-respect.
And hereâs the most beautiful part:
I donât fear money anymore.
I respect it.
â¤ď¸ My Message to Others in the Same Trap
If youâre stuck in a loop like I was, please remember:
- Youâre not weakâââyouâre just caught.
- You donât need more moneyâââyou need a stop button.
- The thrill of the game fades fastâââbut regret lasts forever.
- Real victory is walking away when youâre ahead.
You can still turn it around.
If I can, you can too.

đ Final Words
Money earned fast can vanish faster.
But money earned with discipline and purpose builds a future.
Iâm still learning. Still recovering. But this timeâââIâm winning for real.
