Nollywood star Timini Egbuson has opened up about his history of taking out loans to maintain an expensive lifestyle, confessing that he formerly valued public perception over sound financial decisions. Speaking on the MENtality Podcast, the actor explained that he once acquired luxury clothes and items to keep up appearances, only to later understand that these choices stemmed from social pressure rather than internal satisfaction.
Reflecting on his past habits, Egbuson highlighted his massive collection of 150 perfumes. He noted that he could have used those funds to purchase real estate or make other investments. While he emphasized that he does not condemn luxury, he encouraged individuals to question whether their spending serves their own genuine happiness or merely seeks validation from others.
Egbuson shared that his perspective on wealth has shifted significantly. He stated that he has maintained a positive mindset even during periods of financial struggle. The actor cautioned against the tendency to project a flawless existence online, describing the performative nature of social media as a unsustainable deception. He concluded by distancing himself from his former habits, affirming that he no longer feels the need to borrow money to impress others.
