Actor Timini Egbuson Opens Up On Borrowing To Maintain Extravagant Lifestyle

Appearing on a recent episode of the MENtality podcast, Egbuson admitted that he used to splurge heavily on fashion and other lifestyle indulgences, until he came to a realisation: genuine happiness outweighs the endless chase for the newest luxury items just to show them off online.

He revealed that the funds he poured into building his perfume collection would have been put to better use if invested in land.

“There will always be a newer watch, a newer car,” the thespian said.

“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.

“I’m not trying to talk down on having a nice car or watch. But are you doing it for yourself or because of peer pressure?

“Are you genuinely happy with it? And without it, would you still be happy?

“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.

“For people who are watching me, I always try to let them know that there will be bad and good days.

“And 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.

“I used to be that guy who lived a fake life and borrowed to impress people. But not anymore,” Egbuson added.
