TIFU by gambling away my family’s savings

Throw away TIFU by gambling away my family’s savings and I don’t know how I’m going to tell my wife and I just want to not go home 
So i 54m and some of my guy friends decided to go to Vegas for a week i had a budget of  3,000 to spend gambling but i have 2 college colleges tuitions to pay for and me and my wife are a little bit behind on where we want to be for retirement. I quickly spent the money i had budgeted for vagus but I still had 4 days in vagus so I decided to up my budget and made some bad bets and lost an additional 10 grand I freaked out because I have just thrown away 13k so I decided to go into my sons college fund to win it back before any one noticed and I lost almost all of it about 30k at this point I was desperate to win it back before his next semester so I took from his sister and I won it back after a couple of good bets so I thought I could keep going and lost it all again plus more and kids college fund our empty and are saving retirement is gone i don’t want to go have I just want to leave and never come back and start a new life I know a little Spanish I could go to Mexico and leave it all behind I still have some in savings to move and start over.I don’t want to go home and see their faces when I tell them I lost everything my wife hasn’t worked in 22 years and takes care of her aging parents.  I don’t think she will be able to find a job. My son is smart, he can probably get a scholarship or drop out and work for a year or two, and my daughter is still a freshman in high school she has time to make money. And my wife can make some money after she sells our house or the bank forecloses on it. 

TLDR i gambled away my family’s savings and I don’t want to tell them.

TIFU by not disabling an option in Windows that seemingly made my PC stutter for the last 3 years

I bought a pretty good PC in 2019 (2300 € of goodness) but, a few months after I installed it, the PC started to have, at random, small freeze for like a second, every 10 to 50 min for seemingly no reason. I did tons of benchmark, pretty much read every posts about "my PC is stuttering/freezing help meee" on the internet, called the After Sale number from where I bought the PC. Removing and putting the GPU back helped for a few weeks, but then back to square one. Checked the state of my disks, the ventirad, everything ! Restarting the PC made the stuttering stop for like 1 or 2 hours that's it. I had GPU-Z and CPUID monitor on all the time to check if anything happened, and weirdly enough, having those monitoring program open made the stuttering way weaker ! Drove me absolutely crazy. Then one or two weeks ago I saw a post on r/buildapc about Fast Startup option in Windows and how it was a good idea to disable it... So I did. Since then, nothing. No stuttering, no f...

TIFU by accidentally adding the police to a private WhatsApp group for private poker nights / sports betting events.

So Poker is highly regulated here in Belgium, so is being a bookie. Yet for the past I don't know how many years I (first with some friends, now alone) have been organizing some private poker nights and have ran a private sports betting competition. This sounds like a big deal, but in reality it isn't. None of the proceeds go to me, nor is there a rake during the poker nights. Problem is: these poker nights happen in 2 pubs after hours when they are closed, both pub owners are really good mates of me. So technically the pubs might be violating the law even though people bring their own booze (some will bring a bottle of Wodka, some a crate of beer, etc ...), pub owners don't actually sell anything during those nights (technically, in practice they sometimes just serve at their cost). The buy-in is also limited to €25 euro (no rebuy), so they are basically soft home games, just taking place in a pub behind closed doors. And everyone knows each other. Most of these people...

TIFU by plastering a permanent male appendage onto my brother’s wall.

I M17, plastered a massive one square meter schlong onto my brothers wall today. For revenge. Last week I woke up from a nice, calming dream and opened my eyes to see an A4 peice of paper taped on my roof that said “Fck you.” directly above my head. there was no reason behind it. When I confronted my brother about it his reasoning was that he was bored. I thought it ended at that, so I got my brother back by putting saran wrap around his door and I made paper chains with little insults written on each loop and I taped that to his roof. He simply laughed and asked if I “found them yet?” I was confused what he meant by that but he wouldn’t say anything else so I left it at that. A few days later. At 12:00 at night, a poster from my wall falls to the ground, and behind the poster is a note tapped to my wall. (Crazy coincidence, it’s like my bedroom purposefully uncovered the note) The note had “tickle my urethra.” Written on it. I then decided to check behind a poster next to it to see ...
