man just lost some money gambling today and I will never do it again. I needed your videos. im young I can't go down this route. thank you for beeng honest man. keep on working
Good luck Brother, being honest comes with its pro's and cons, i get judged big time for being honest about my experience, but i'm glad that i can flick a switch in someone's mind and potentially help, wishing you the best.
We all can relate to Ramy's story. We all fall from grace. We all take a destructive path. We all hit rock bottom. But Ramy is the only one with "The Balls" to let the world know what we experience. Ramy, you will experience HUGE BLESSINGS! you are EMPOWERING SO MANY PEOPLE. You've got me through some tough times. Thanks man!
Thanks Brother, you are a fantastic support structure and are always welcome. Yeah man a lot of people hit rock bottom in life, but the difference is i am not afraid of speaking of life's tough realities. I will share my ups and my downs and hopefully motivate or at least relate to other people out there too shy to express themselves.
Bro out stories are exactly the same. Trading addiction has destroyed my life. I’m the same age and ruined what should’ve been my best shot at life with the best relationship of my life. I feel exactly the same, like a ghost
Hey Bro, yeah i'm not surprised our stories link and are similar, many comments below attest to that fact. Now is the perfect time for us to focus on ourselves and ride the road to recovery, it's definitely not too late, but we don't have time to fluff around.
InshaAllah good stuff is coming for you brother. I see the change., i see you are happy and on route to better things. Don't care about other people., what they think or not think. Those who didn't stood by you are the most common types in the world. You alone need to stand up for yourself.
Stay strong habibi!! InshAllah all these goals will come! Keep going, never give up!! Don't care about what anyone thinks and keep building yourself!! Screw people if they judge you! No one is perfect. You're NEVER alone, I myself am always with you!! All you need is yourself, God and us to help you get bigger and better in life once again! Stay away from all the bad habits, and you'll be ok! Always hit me up anytime!!
My Habibi! I hope you are good my man! Yes i am not giving up, giving up is for losers my Brother haha! People are premium judgers, imagine how much they'd earn if they got paid for it haha. God is great and i will trust this gruelling process, Inshallah good things to come for us soon !
@@ramio1983 Haha indeed! Yes, you always got us, and I've seen you go up and down over the years, so I know you'll bounce back up in no time! You got so much potential and power and passion to do it habibi!! Looks like you need to bring Arab dad too, he'll knock some sense into us now hahah, shoooo??? Dude that m*usterbation video still makes me laugh! I see it in my head all the time, the way the door flew open hahaha, I wish you can find that masterpiece again one day haha. Stay super and strong as you are habibi!!!
I can relate, Im 34 and similar things happens to me. Our situations are alike. I cant improve your problems if I cant improve mine. But I feel that you can inspire me and many others. This video with its topics only brave individuals would make. Stay optimistic and greetings from sweden!
I was sure others could relate to my situation, which is why i shared it, thanks for the comment. I document these issues because i truly believe in my heart i will come out of this a lot better and i hope to use it as a tool for inspiration to others! Have a great day in Sweden from Australia :)
There is always hope my friend! , I get what you mean about the people you thought would reach out but haven't. i appreciate the times you come and say hi in streams and never forget it! always keen for a talk , Until then will see ya . Chur!
Hang in there, bro, we all learn from falling to rock bottom. I was there in your shoe years ago, had a lot of problems and gambling was my biggest downfall. I had to take a step back, re-evaluate, battle inner demons, work hard, save, repay debts. I have to admit that I was fortunate to have good opportunities at work. I also had a girlfriend and family I cannot disappoint. Looking back, we now have three young kids together and I am slowly climbing back up, slowly but eventually. I have a lot of people and weight I carry, so there is no room for error for me at this point. I use that as motivation to break bad habits and improve myself for my wife and kids. Sometimes we take a big fall to hit bottom to realize we are vulnerable. Once we hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up, just a matter of time. Keep your head up and keep having hope. You are still in a lot better situation than millions of people out there. Hope for some good news coming your way, Ramio.
Thank you bro, absolutely rock bottom is really a place where many legends born, i pray that i could be one of those. I see you too hard a hard time with this demon, i am so glad that you have been able to recover at your own pace and find some goals and successes amongst the chaos. Praying for more good for you and your family and please keep me in your positive thoughts.
You're gonna be ok, brother. We always have everything we need as long as we're still able to connect with God. God can restore everything and shuffle things in ways that'll amaze you. God can even give you happiness without the usual reasons for it. You're stuck in a limited mentality. Let go of how things seem and seek truth. That'll open you up to all the possibilities and they are truly endless. Stay in continuous remembrance of and connection with God..
@@ramio1983 Also, don't worry too much about appearances and the narratives (your own or others') i.e. success is this, life is supposed to be that, a man is someone who.... etc. Luqman was a slave and God Almighty revealed a whole sura in his name. This is what I mean about opening up your mentality... Allow your life to unfold the way it did and does and will. Allow variation and defy the narratives. I'm a 34 yo brokey myself but I'm very happy and content with myself 😂 I have a strong feeling that I have everything I need rn and when the time opens up for "money making" I'll make that money and give it away for the needy bcs I truly found contentment.. ppl respect me when they dig and find no inferiority complex in me left. I come across as more confident and level headed than they are and it baffles them lol They come to me when they're in hardship bcs I learn to stay rooted in the grace of God. It comes in all shapes and wisdom is truly the best blessing. I stopped asking God for anything else. Wisdom and understanding helps you become flexible and resilient bcs you don't get stuck with appearances..
I know that feeling when you're down, nobody wants to associate with you. Very difficult when time goes by and you see your life has either gone nowhere or backwards. Hang in there man.

You’ve just got to keep in man! A lot of people have had it all (I’ve even seen it in my family) and hit rock bottom and climbed back out to get back to normal. Maybe not to where they were but a good place. First step is really a job or two. Work and work some more, live bare bones and monitor expenses. Within a couple months you might have a slight amount saved in your checking account. Keep growing that slowly and don’t touch it. People say money is the root of all evil but it will boost your confidence greatly just knowing you’re not completely broke anymore. Don’t worry about anything else and keep looking for one job that pays well so you can cut down to just one job. Once you get a decent amount saved, call up a couple of your good bros and start meeting up once a week and have some laughs and drinks. It’s slow but you can definitely get back. You’ve just gotta get your finances in line first. Psychologically you’ll feel so much better.
Thank you, that really means a lot, words with strong advice points and plenty of things to reflect about. I really appreciate your tips in regards to sacrifice and how its required in the early stages of this journey. Much appreciated and hope to make some positive updates soon! :)
Holaaaaa 😃 Ramey first of of all I want to give you credit for sharing this video. Not everyone has the courage to open up and talk publicly about the hardships that they are going through. I truly believe that you will come out of this 🙏 and look back from a much better place in your life. People do tend to disappoint sometimes, but our loved ones will always have our back. God almighty NEVER abandons us my friend. You WILL find yourself again Ramey🙂 trust the process and never give up hope 🙏 this too shall pass 🤍
Hola Ivonne!! "This too shall pass" is such a simple but powerful line, one of my favourites. I agree, this will definitely pass and i truly believe i will also come out of this a much better man. Always appreciate your supportive role in my life, it plays a strong part. Thank You and God Bless. 🤍🤍🤍
Best way to think of money is that it buys freedom. If you waste it, you are giving your freedom. So if you spend it on a new car or gamble it, it's the same thing but at least the car you can sell it. Guard your money or else you won't have peace in your life. As a man we are providers and protectors. If you can't provide for yourself, you need to reflect and change your ways.
Hi there, thanks for the comment, your words definitely resonate with me totally, what you say makes perfect sense and i believe that money truly does feel like freedom, when i am broke i feel like im in a physical and mental prison. Appreciate it, hoping to have some positive news soon from my end.
Bro, don't worry! So many people are in the same situation, I am 31 and I've always been alone except I have my family (most important)! But still It's okay to be alone as long as you have some family members and ALLAH (he always with you)! Also, people change when they get older, so it's okay if you not get back to be your older self! Just accept the current situation and the situation might change again to the better, you never know. There are good and bad times. But believe me, so many people are nowadays alone and busy with themselves, this is a characteristic of our era/time, also due to distractions such as technologies etc. Just don't let it get too much into you or affect your health, always try to stay optimistic and think that there are always people who are in a worse situation, like those who starve, those who are currently dying in wars etc. May Allah help you, inschaAllah!
Thanks Bro, your comment is 100% spot on in so many ways, maybe the "new me" will be bigger and better than ever, i just need to trust the process, despite it being long and hard- i do believe that Allah will offer his reprieve. I will be optimistic for the near future my friend and wishing you too, the best.
@@mastaSkitz I was and am back on track with quitting, but saving? While having no job and bills? Sadly not the case, especially with my recent car payment for registration and insurance, it cost me $2,300 so ALL of my savings is gone.
Hi Ramio, I haven’t been on your channel for a while, but when I was on last time (about a year ago) I related to your words and now today I still relate to all you are saying. I am 54, visiting my dad in Mel, and broke. Luckily I was able to get here from Tas to stay with him for a couple of months. I’m often in hardship and behind in finances. It can be very sad and emotional for me, I had tears yesterday. Not one of my close friends have come to see me, I even have one living not far away. Recently I asked one of my wealthy female cousin’s for a burrow of 1 or 2 thousand dollars. She inherited all her mother’s inheritance (my Aunt which is my dad’s sister who passed last year). My cousin said no to me and it really gutted me that my relatives can be so selfish despite being a millionaire. I don’t hate her that she rejected helping and as you said, I even blame myself for being broke. I totally understand your situation. Thank you for sharing these true struggles and challenges. We need to set some goals and stay strong. All will get better this year, blessings yo you, sending much love 🙏❤️
Hey lovely thank you for the detailed message and your update, glad to see you following through on my own journey as well. It's a tough World we live in and to be honest when i've been down in the dumps, the people i expected the least were the ones that were there more so than the ones i expected. Like you, i try not to judge, maybe there's a reason in their eyes that's justified and we may never really understand it. I just wish nobody is down in the dumps like us because it's a place where there is so much negative energy and everything you thought about the World and People comes crashing down. I wish you the best and hope success comes for us both very soon. Peace
@@ramio1983 thank you ramio, I appreciate your kind words, it lifted up my spirits to have someone understanding to my situation. Yes, I too wishing lots of peace and success to both of us 🙏❤️💯
Oh dear Ramio, till minut of 8. I understand you pretty well. What's you going through. I can also say that I am currently in the same situation as you (Everything is great, I have a lot of company, love, etc.). but I already feel the consequences of losing, I can't reach everyone and be there with everyone or like you said keep up with everybody. Is there any specific advice I can give you? No, I simply think that these are some lessons that teach us through life to understand how valuable we are, what our ambitions are, who are there for us in the most difficult moments (even if it is not, it does not mean changing the circle of friends completely).The first place you can start is actually finding a job. it's hard, but you have to try. this is where many things begin to change. maybe even invite some friends you think are worth inviting. After you get back on your feet, you can go out. The point in everything is to allow yourself to see the change and to accept some things, that you have simply changed. that life has changed you. you don't need to be the same as before because it was 30 years ago (example) it's okay to behave in accordance with the fact that you lived a very attractive lifestyle. You have to sit down and think carefully. make some decisions. Not everything is so easy, but if you lose hope and don't try to change something, then your life will simply stay like that. So keep your head up and don't allow yourself to be 'that' broke friend. But prove that even hard times can't bring you down to the floor. I'm on your side so just don't stay there in retro zone😂😆 It was very useful watching this video, so don't give up. U don't know where you can end up in future
Thanks so much Victoria Chase! LOL I appreciate the comment honestly and i'm surprised you can relate but there you go, i guess my issue is multi-layered, so many people can relate to part or all of it. My friend thinks she can get me a job within 6 weeks so i am really hoping this dream manifests into a reality. I guess this change in who i am isn't necessarily a bad thing, i just need to wait it out and see, who knows i could come out of this situation better than ever, i just need to have faith and believe. Thanks so much :)
@@ramio1983 Yes, that's what I'm saying😌just look up and have faith. Trust me there a great beauty yet to come. Try to look as much as positive on all of this❣
Thank you so much Ramio I find you really inspiring. I’m a student at Cal Poly Slo and I’m building a gambling recovery app because I had to watch my close friend fall apart from his gambling addiction. Would you be willing to give me some advice?
Hey Mate thank you for your kind words. Your APP sounds like an amazing venture, especially in honour of your friend who's life fell apart due to that sick addiction. What advice would you like? You can Instagram me: Ramio1983 is my account, it's easier for me to communicate perhaps.
Im in the same place at the same age.i think the best way out is FIFO mine work and of course totally restricting all access to money,and putting all blocks in place
For me, I expect ZERO help from my friends and they should expect that from me too. As long as they don't steal from you or lie to you or belittle you. That's a good enough friend. That 100% fair. If they help or if I help well that's just a bonus. I don't want to be a burden to anyone. We're not children. Bad things happen. You can only expect help the most from your immediate family (but sometimes that too is already hard enough to ask for especially when they already have their own family). Because they are affected too... but friends.. Nope..
Well but my friends helped me with 10-20000 dollars and I am so thankful unto them and Lord Jesus Christ..... When I was about to be homeless...!!! The only advice I can give you is get some real friends.
@@livinghope1561 We don't need to require to find REAL friends. You don't BEG for friends. Unless your friends are all fake. If you lived off charity.. Well shame on you dude.
@@livinghope1561 Who says I don't have friends? Can't you read? Poor you, you only get by in life by "using" people so called "friends". I ditch WEAK people like you.
@@valcrist7428 just don't be jealous.... I am 1000 times more stronger than you're because I got real friend and not fake friends like you who really stands for me . Your survival is just 1% if you have such fake friends.. lol.
I am legitimately trying. At first i was being selective but the last few months been applying for anything with no luck yet. Anything will literally do at the moment, fingers crossed as i have ramped up my applications lately.
I lost everything after a hurricane that hit Puerto Rico in 2017 came to the USA whit only 900 dollars . it’s true people put you down in my situation my own ex wife . so I told myself that I was alone I took all the opportunities that I found in life . Living whit family taking rides whit family and friends to my job .saving money on anything food going out clothes absolutely everything. I started saving money and investing in the stock market and today a got 100k between savings and stocks. It’s not enough but from 900 to 100k it’s a good start. I’m 46 I lost everything when I was 40 don’t lose faith in yourself
Hey Joe, thanks for your comment. Sorry about the disaster that struck in Puerto Rico and also your experience of people having no faith and putting you down, it does sound very familiar. However reading the rest of your story is very hopeful , it does make me realize that there is always time and so long as there is time, there is opportunity. Best of success to you.
Hey Ramio, really nice video! I was wondering if I can help you in edit and optimze your videos which will skyrocket your channel, and also making engaging shorts out of them. I can send you the sample video edits to show you my proficiency.
I am not judging in any way whatsoever, but is it difficult to get a job over there in places like a grocery store or a restaurant? You mentioned in one of the comments that you paid for your car registration, can you use your car to make food deliveries? Just something to at least give you some sort of income, even if it’s minuscule. It sounds like you’re a little depressed, but you’ll get through it.
Hey my friend thank you for your honest comment. It's a long story with why some of my job applications have been unsuccessful, very bad timing, making the wrong choice between two jobs then losing both and then me waiting for a potential job offer from a friend, it has been a mess, but my Brother actually advised me to do food delivery which i have dipped my feet in for some months, however it has actually cost me more due to my car costs (had to get new tyres, then my car registration/insurance) so in essence this money i am making is just going to fuel and car costs, so its been difficult getting ahead. I'm a little down for now, but hoping for change soon :)
@@ramio1983 I can imagine that frustration, but things will improve. Sometimes it takes longer for some, but one day you’ll be able to look back at this time and be grateful for how far you’ve come. It’s important to have a strong and clear mind during these times. I wish you the best!
@ramio1983 I don't have other forms of social media like Instagram and tiktok. Unless I create one just to reach out but yeah inshaAllah. I've got some interesting stories to share and what truly helped Me alhamdulillah.
You said you pray and hope for better things to happen to you. Instead pray for the strength to go out there and live the life you truly want, no matter what. There is a whole life outside of that shell you are talking about. No excuses anymore. Make your goals realistic and go for it bro. Hey I hear Rugby is huge in Australia. You should join a team! That will put some pep in your step, and allow you to build some of the best relationships through blood and sweat. Chicks dig scars, so you will have no issue finding a wife lol also you look fit. Maybe you should try some type of construction job, stack some money, grow some calluses. You have no idea how your life can change in the next 5 years. Just give yourself the next 5 years ATLEAST. You’ve made it this far and in 5 years we want to see a video sharing your family and where you have gone. You’re only a loser when you quit. Just my two cents. I found your video about gambling relapse for a couple years ago and clicked on your channel and was bummed to see that two year later you are making a video like this. No more victim mentality!!
Have you not considered driving UberEats? It’s decent side money along with Centrelink payments until you find a job. You should’ve been doing this several years ago and could’ve had a small full paid apartment and some money. I wouldn’t recommend cohabitative relationships in Australia due to defacto law.
Hey Man thank you for your comment. Yes i have been a Doordash driver for the last 8 months or so. In that period my car had to get repaired/serviced 3 times- costing in total $650- that is outside of fuel costs. So it really hasn't helped me in any way, shape or form, besides killing my time so i don't go insane while i wait to land a job. I'm being more aggressive than ever in my job hunt, so hoping i strike it lucky very soon. Cheers.
@@ramio1983 Best of luck brother. I’m 25 and in the same situation. UberEats pays the best. Doordash & Menulog aren’t very good. UberEats/Uber Driver you can average at least an easy $1500 a month + Centrelink payments until you get a proper job. Enough to live comfortably. Just be grateful we are in Australia, we could’ve been worse in Gaza.
I love my hikes and certainly should be doing more of them, good for mental health too. Also love my coffees but budgeting big time now with fuel/food.
Hey mate i am open to it, however first would like to establish communication via either Facebook or Instagram (Ramio1983- is my handle). Look forward to hearing from you.
Who says my life is "thrown away"? I certainly don't. My life just got a lot more difficult but people have it worse, i need to focus on building up from here and making the most of it.
Bro relationships are part of humanity- we can't sit here and act like it's not human nature to bond, be in groups, make intimate friends, have partners, loving families that you can trust.
@@ramio1983 im just speaking from experience. I learned the hard way as who is real will stay and who is fake will leave. Everybody left me at my lowest like u. Lets pray we bounce back stronger than ever. 40 is not old…there are lots of pretty women around just get urself together and hopefully allah will bring someone special in ur life. Remember ur life is a movie start being the star u are.
@ramio1983 relationships are the most beautiful part of life. Imagine if someone was in heaven but on there own, how long would they enjoy it for? Adam needed his eve.
I said similar thing about forgetting people because I've been burned and left out. But we do need people but the right ones in our lives. I hope yall find the right supportive people in your lives
man just lost some money gambling today and I will never do it again. I needed your videos. im young I can't go down this route. thank you for beeng honest man. keep on working

Once you get a decent amount saved, call up a couple of your good bros and start meeting up once a week and have some laughs and drinks. It’s slow but you can definitely get back. You’ve just gotta get your finances in line first. Psychologically you’ll feel so much better.
Thank you, that really means a lot, words with strong advice points and plenty of things to reflect about. I really appreciate your tips in regards to sacrifice and how its required in the early stages of this journey. Much appreciated and hope to make some positive updates soon! :)
Holaaaaa 😃 Ramey first of of all I want to give you credit for sharing this video. Not everyone has the courage to open up and talk publicly about the hardships that they are going through. I truly believe that you will come out of this 🙏 and look back from a much better place in your life. People do tend to disappoint sometimes, but our loved ones will always have our back. God almighty NEVER abandons us my friend. You WILL find yourself again Ramey🙂 trust the process and never give up hope 🙏 this too shall pass 🤍
Hola Ivonne!! "This too shall pass" is such a simple but powerful line, one of my favourites. I agree, this will definitely pass and i truly believe i will also come out of this a much better man. Always appreciate your supportive role in my life, it plays a strong part. Thank You and God Bless. 🤍🤍🤍
@ramio1983 Absolutely and likewise my good friend. Sending humongous hugs your way habibi 🫂 🤗
Best way to think of money is that it buys freedom. If you waste it, you are giving your freedom.
So if you spend it on a new car or gamble it, it's the same thing but at least the car you can sell it.
Guard your money or else you won't have peace in your life. As a man we are providers and protectors. If you can't provide for yourself, you need to reflect and change your ways.
Hi there, thanks for the comment, your words definitely resonate with me totally, what you say makes perfect sense and i believe that money truly does feel like freedom, when i am broke i feel like im in a physical and mental prison. Appreciate it, hoping to have some positive news soon from my end.
I lost $92k usd in the last 12 years. I won back everything i lost and lost it all again. TWICE in the last year.
OMG man that sounds rough as guts. Sadly that shows the nature of gambling addiction- the ADDICTION part is the problem.
Bro, don't worry! So many people are in the same situation, I am 31 and I've always been alone except I have my family (most important)! But still It's okay to be alone as long as you have some family members and ALLAH (he always with you)! Also, people change when they get older, so it's okay if you not get back to be your older self! Just accept the current situation and the situation might change again to the better, you never know. There are good and bad times. But believe me, so many people are nowadays alone and busy with themselves, this is a characteristic of our era/time, also due to distractions such as technologies etc. Just don't let it get too much into you or affect your health, always try to stay optimistic and think that there are always people who are in a worse situation, like those who starve, those who are currently dying in wars etc. May Allah help you, inschaAllah!
Thanks Bro, your comment is 100% spot on in so many ways, maybe the "new me" will be bigger and better than ever, i just need to trust the process, despite it being long and hard- i do believe that Allah will offer his reprieve. I will be optimistic for the near future my friend and wishing you too, the best.
Just lost a years saving yesterday. Feel traumatized and sick... its dark. My stomach hurts from it.
So sorry to hear that man, absolutely traumatic. Please fight it.
@@ramio1983i thought u were back on track with savings what happened im sorry
@@mastaSkitz I was and am back on track with quitting, but saving? While having no job and bills? Sadly not the case, especially with my
recent car payment for registration and insurance, it cost me $2,300 so ALL of my savings is gone.
Hi Ramio, I haven’t been on your channel for a while, but when I was on last time (about a year ago) I related to your words and now today I still relate to all you are saying. I am 54, visiting my dad in Mel, and broke. Luckily I was able to get here from Tas to stay with him for a couple of months. I’m often in hardship and behind in finances. It can be very sad and emotional for me, I had tears yesterday. Not one of my close friends have come to see me, I even have one living not far away. Recently I asked one of my wealthy female cousin’s for a burrow of 1 or 2 thousand dollars. She inherited all her mother’s inheritance (my Aunt which is my dad’s sister who passed last year). My cousin said no to me and it really gutted me that my relatives can be so selfish despite being a millionaire. I don’t hate her that she rejected helping and as you said, I even blame myself for being broke. I totally understand your situation. Thank you for sharing these true struggles and challenges. We need to set some goals and stay strong. All will get better this year, blessings yo you, sending much love 🙏❤️
Hey lovely thank you for the detailed message and your update, glad to see you following through on my own journey as well. It's a tough World we live in and to be honest when i've been down in the dumps, the people i expected the least were the ones that were there more so than the ones i expected. Like you, i try not to judge, maybe there's a reason in their eyes that's justified and we may never really understand it. I just wish nobody is down in the dumps like us because it's a place where there is so much negative energy and everything you thought about the World and People comes crashing down. I wish you the best and hope success comes for us both very soon. Peace
@@ramio1983 thank you ramio, I appreciate your kind words, it lifted up my spirits to have someone understanding to my situation. Yes, I too wishing lots of peace and success to both of us 🙏❤️💯
Oh dear Ramio, till minut of 8. I understand you pretty well. What's you going through. I can also say that I am currently in the same situation as you (Everything is great, I have a lot of company, love, etc.). but I already feel the consequences of losing, I can't reach everyone and be there with everyone or like you said keep up with everybody. Is there any specific advice I can give you? No, I simply think that these are some lessons that teach us through life to understand how valuable we are, what our ambitions are, who are there for us in the most difficult moments (even if it is not, it does not mean changing the circle of friends completely).The first place you can start is actually finding a job. it's hard, but you have to try. this is where many things begin to change. maybe even invite some friends you think are worth inviting. After you get back on your feet, you can go out. The point in everything is to allow yourself to see the change and to accept some things, that you have simply changed. that life has changed you. you don't need to be the same as before because it was 30 years ago (example) it's okay to behave in accordance with the fact that you lived a very attractive lifestyle. You have to sit down and think carefully. make some decisions. Not everything is so easy, but if you lose hope and don't try to change something, then your life will simply stay like that. So keep your head up and don't allow yourself to be 'that' broke friend. But prove that even hard times can't bring you down to the floor. I'm on your side so just don't stay there in retro zone😂😆 It was very useful watching this video, so don't give up. U don't know where you can end up in future
Thanks so much Victoria Chase! LOL I appreciate the comment honestly and i'm surprised you can relate but there you go, i guess my issue is multi-layered, so many people can relate to part or all of it. My friend thinks she can get me a job within 6 weeks so i am really hoping this dream manifests into a reality. I guess this change in who i am isn't necessarily a bad thing, i just need to wait it out and see, who knows i could come out of this situation better than ever, i just need to have faith and believe. Thanks so much :)
@@ramio1983 Yes, that's what I'm saying😌just look up and have faith. Trust me there a great beauty yet to come. Try to look as much as positive on all of this❣
I'm barely making ends meet too brother.
It's a tough place to be Brother, hopefully things improve for you.
Thank you so much Ramio I find you really inspiring. I’m a student at Cal Poly Slo and I’m building a gambling recovery app because I had to watch my close friend fall apart from his gambling addiction. Would you be willing to give me some advice?
Hey Mate thank you for your kind words. Your APP sounds like an amazing venture, especially in honour of your friend who's life fell apart due to that sick addiction. What advice would you like? You can Instagram me: Ramio1983 is my account, it's easier for me to communicate perhaps.
Im in the same place at the same age.i think the best way out is FIFO mine work and of course totally restricting all access to money,and putting all blocks in place
Hey there, i would love a change of scenery, a whole new reset in life, FIFO would offer good pay and a new environment, could be a good idea mate.
For me, I expect ZERO help from my friends and they should expect that from me too.
As long as they don't steal from you or lie to you or belittle you. That's a good enough friend.
That 100% fair.
If they help or if I help well that's just a bonus.
I don't want to be a burden to anyone.
We're not children. Bad things happen.
You can only expect help the most from your immediate family (but sometimes that too is already hard enough to ask for especially when they already have their own family). Because they are affected too... but friends.. Nope..
Well but my friends helped me with 10-20000 dollars and I am so thankful unto them and Lord Jesus Christ..... When I was about to be homeless...!!! The only advice I can give you is get some real friends.
@@livinghope1561 We don't need to require to find REAL friends. You don't BEG for friends. Unless your friends are all fake. If you lived off charity.. Well shame on you dude.
@@valcrist7428 shame on you for not having a good friend... !!!.
@@livinghope1561 Who says I don't have friends? Can't you read?
Poor you, you only get by in life by "using" people so called "friends". I ditch WEAK people like you.
@@valcrist7428 just don't be jealous.... I am 1000 times more stronger than you're because I got real friend and not fake friends like you who really stands for me . Your survival is just 1% if you have such fake friends.. lol.
Go to fin work man ! No matter what to do !! If you are waiting to be called only for specific jobs is not ok .
I am legitimately trying. At first i was being selective but the last few months been applying for anything with no luck yet. Anything will literally do at the moment, fingers crossed as i have ramped up my applications lately.
I am sorry bro.
It's okay Bro, life goes on, it has to.
I lost everything after a hurricane that hit Puerto Rico in 2017 came to the USA whit only 900 dollars . it’s true people put you down in my situation my own ex wife . so I told myself that I was alone I took all the opportunities that I found in life . Living whit family taking rides whit family and friends to my job .saving money on anything food going out clothes absolutely everything. I started saving money and investing in the stock market and today a got 100k between savings and stocks. It’s not enough but from 900 to 100k it’s a good start. I’m 46 I lost everything when I was 40 don’t lose faith in yourself
Hey Joe, thanks for your comment. Sorry about the disaster that struck in Puerto Rico and also your experience of people having no faith and putting you down, it does sound very familiar. However reading the rest of your story is very hopeful , it does make me realize that there is always time and so long as there is time, there is opportunity. Best of success to you.
2 Corinthians 4:17:
Allah with you ❤️
Thank You ❤
Hey Ramio, really nice video! I was wondering if I can help you in edit and optimze your videos which will skyrocket your channel, and also making engaging shorts out of them. I can send you the sample video edits to show you my proficiency.
bro money is almost everything, you truly cannot live a healthy life without money. Its sad but true.
Bro i never used to believe it, but these days, it most definitely is right, a life with no money is difficult, tollsome, tiring and unsatisfying.
I am not judging in any way whatsoever, but is it difficult to get a job over there in places like a grocery store or a restaurant? You mentioned in one of the comments that you paid for your car registration, can you use your car to make food deliveries? Just something to at least give you some sort of income, even if it’s minuscule. It sounds like you’re a little depressed, but you’ll get through it.
Hey my friend thank you for your honest comment. It's a long story with why some of my job applications have been unsuccessful, very bad timing, making the wrong choice between two jobs then losing both and then me waiting for a potential job offer from a friend, it has been a mess, but my Brother actually advised me to do food delivery which i have dipped my feet in for some months, however it has actually cost me more due to my car costs (had to get new tyres, then my car registration/insurance) so in essence this money i am making is just going to fuel and car costs, so its been difficult getting ahead. I'm a little down for now, but hoping for change soon :)
@@ramio1983 I can imagine that frustration, but things will improve. Sometimes it takes longer for some, but one day you’ll be able to look back at this time and be grateful for how far you’ve come. It’s important to have a strong and clear mind during these times. I wish you the best!
Brother please reach out to me... I'm not sure how you can get in touch but I can relate to you on so many levels. There is a way to rectify it.
Hey Brother thanks for the reach out, try me on Instagram @Ramio1983 . I'd love to hear from you.
@ramio1983 I don't have other forms of social media like Instagram and tiktok. Unless I create one just to reach out but yeah inshaAllah. I've got some interesting stories to share and what truly helped Me alhamdulillah.
You said you pray and hope for better things to happen to you. Instead pray for the strength to go out there and live the life you truly want, no matter what. There is a whole life outside of that shell you are talking about. No excuses anymore. Make your goals realistic and go for it bro.
Hey I hear Rugby is huge in Australia. You should join a team! That will put some pep in your step, and allow you to build some of the best relationships through blood and sweat. Chicks dig scars, so you will have no issue finding a wife lol also you look fit. Maybe you should try some type of construction job, stack some money, grow some calluses. You have no idea how your life can change in the next 5 years. Just give yourself the next 5 years ATLEAST. You’ve made it this far and in 5 years we want to see a video sharing your family and where you have gone. You’re only a loser when you quit. Just my two cents. I found your video about gambling relapse for a couple years ago and clicked on your channel and was bummed to see that two year later you are making a video like this. No more victim mentality!!
Have you not considered driving UberEats? It’s decent side money along with Centrelink payments until you find a job. You should’ve been doing this several years ago and could’ve had a small full paid apartment and some money. I wouldn’t recommend cohabitative relationships in Australia due to defacto law.
Hey Man thank you for your comment. Yes i have been a Doordash driver for the last 8 months or so. In that period my car had to get repaired/serviced 3 times-
costing in total $650- that is outside of fuel costs. So it really hasn't helped me in any way, shape or form, besides killing my time so i don't go insane while i wait to land a job.
I'm being more aggressive than ever in my job hunt, so hoping i strike it lucky very soon. Cheers.
@@ramio1983 Best of luck brother. I’m 25 and in the same situation. UberEats pays the best. Doordash & Menulog aren’t very good. UberEats/Uber Driver you can average at least an easy $1500 a month + Centrelink payments until you get a proper job. Enough to live comfortably. Just be grateful we are in Australia, we could’ve been worse in Gaza.
Let me know if you are interested in video editing.
I am brother, but at this point i cant do it for monetary reasons, im keeping things humble for now as i am in a bad financial state.
imagine if ramio won all the money he played in gambling...he be a billionaire
legitimately!
You can go for a hike buddy or something free. Or maybe a coffee?
I love my hikes and certainly should be doing more of them, good for mental health too. Also love my coffees but budgeting big time now with fuel/food.
@@ramio1983 good for you 👍 baby steps
hey man can we talk ? like on a call or something?
Hey mate i am open to it, however first would like to establish communication via either Facebook or Instagram (Ramio1983- is my handle). Look forward to hearing from you.
ramio you were a manager you had such a good job...why did you throw your life away
Who says my life is "thrown away"? I certainly don't. My life just got a lot more difficult but people have it worse, i need to focus on building up from here and making the most of it.
@@ramio1983 what kind of wife do you think you will find now? you are not young anymore
@@mastaSkitz A woman in her early 30's is fine with me :)
@@ramio1983 lol ok good luck
@@ramio1983 lol you need bank and lots fo money for girls like that...they will look at you now like who is that old man
Forget about ppl man. You dont need friends in this world just urself. Nobody will save u except for u
Bro relationships are part of humanity- we can't sit here and act like it's not human nature to bond, be in groups, make intimate friends,
have partners, loving families that you can trust.
@@ramio1983 im just speaking from experience. I learned the hard way as who is real will stay and who is fake will leave. Everybody left me at my lowest like u. Lets pray we bounce back stronger than ever. 40 is not old…there are lots of pretty women around just get urself together and hopefully allah will bring someone special in ur life. Remember ur life is a movie start being the star u are.
@ramio1983 relationships are the most beautiful part of life. Imagine if someone was in heaven but on there own, how long would they enjoy it for? Adam needed his eve.
@@hkarim8730 Very wise words, i agree, Adam needed his Eve. Imagine Adam all alone up there, even he would get tired of it lol.
I said similar thing about forgetting people because I've been burned and left out. But we do need people but the right ones in our lives. I hope yall find the right supportive people in your lives
I request you to hear Quran translation in English you will feel better
The Quran is definitely healing to my ears.
@@ramio1983 god bless you brother 🤍
