He said the experience made him wiser with his finances, and he’s now more cautious with his spending.

“I used to have a lot of money, but I rushed things. I wish I were wise then. I was just buying things extravagantly, things I eventually did not need.

“At this point, as I am getting new money, I have to think about every move I want to take. I was accommodating up to ten of my friends back then, and we were all receiving female visitors.

“I bought three cars at once just so that my friends would go out with me in convoy. I was reckless,” he added.
