Question from a reader:
Currently 40 years old, Issei Mizuhara has a confirmed five-year prison sentence and is burdened with a debt of 2.8 billion yen. Is there a way for him to pay it off while still alive? If you have any advice, please share.
How to Repay Debt?
Recently, while having tea with friends at a café, an intriguing
topic came up. Someone mentioned a person who is carrying a debt of 2.8 billion yen, and it turns out that person is Issei Mizuhara, who has even received a prison sentence. We all started discussing how he might go about repaying that debt, but to be honest, when you think about reality, it’s not a laughing matter.
Is Gambling Really a Solution?
One of my friends exclaimed, “Gambling is the only way!” which made me a bit uneasy. Sure, chasing the dream of a big win can be tempting, but have you ever considered the risks involved? I, too, have been invited by friends to play pachinko in the past, and before I knew it, a few thousand yen vanished in an instant, leaving me feeling down on the way home. Having had that experience, I feel that relying on gambling to settle debts has a risky appeal. However, there might be some truth to what my friend said. As a researcher on gambling addiction, he is trying to shed light on the realities of that world. It’s true that having knowledge could allow for a somewhat safer way to enjoy it. Still, the thought of getting lost in that dark side is a bit frightening. I definitely don’t want to step into such a dangerous path.
What Are the Other Options?
So, what other options do we have besides gambling? I believe that working diligently to repay the debt is the safest method. Of course, with a staggering amount like 2.8 billion yen, it’s not going to be easy, but we can only make progress little by little. Additionally, receiving support from those around you and seeking counseling can also be significant. Recently, as I have been raising a child, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of money even more when thinking about the future. Therefore, instead of relying on gambling, I believe it’s essential to create a solid plan and work towards it diligently.
