I lived a fake life. I borrowing to live big and impress people – Timini Egbuson confesses
Actor Timini Egbuson has revealed that he once borrowed money to maintain a lifestyle and impress people when he on the MENtality podcast.
The Nigerian actor admitted that he previously lived beyond his means.
“I used to be that guy who lived a f^ke life and borrowed to impress people. But not anymore,” he said.
Timini said his mindset changed after he realised that material possessions should not determine a person’s happiness.
“There will always be a newer watch, a newer car,” he stated.
The actor also revealed that he was once a perfume collector and had about 150 perfumes.
“I used to be a perfume collector. I had about 150. But I realised that I could have invested the money I spent acquiring perfumes in purchasing land,” he said.
Timini added that he has experienced moments when he was broke, but his attitude remained the same.
“There are times when I have been broke, but my energy is always the same because I found a way to be happy with whatever I have,” he said.
“I always try to let them know that there will be bad and good days,” he added.
“If you dwell on the bad days and you can’t find yourself, you can’t step out or create content, that means you are living a lie. And I wonder how long you can live that lie,” he concluded.
