Peter gets used to spending money like water and he has been unemployed 

for 2 months now and never thought(here I would use "has never", seems better fit with the other parts of the sentence) of looking for a new job again, as a result, 

he has ended up being dirt poor. The worse thing(The worst thing, or What's worse, To make things worse) is he has addicted(got/become addicted) to gambling 

recently!  His power was shut off because he has owed too much money 

to the energy company.  Therefore, his mom, sister and grandmother tried to 

chip in half of the money to help him out and they said he had to come up with

 the other half. His mom said to him: “ A fool and his money are soon parted, 

 our money doesn’t grow on trees, you got to quit  gambling and find a job as 

soon as you can.”  Peter said : “Well , I had my fingers in the till and got 

caught I don’t know  if they would  like to give me a chance or not.”

 Although his family has been advising him to stop gambling, but one 

ear in and out another(I know this idiom, but not sure if you can use it like this, maybe add a subject? like what they said was one ...), he is still dreaming that he will break the bank

 and strike it rich one day.  He thinks when he is in trouble he can bank on 

his family all the time,  and he thinks his family are all suckers that they 

will help him out of adversity anytime.  He thinks he could bank on his 

mother like always.  My gosh! What kind of a person he is!
