Mr Macaroni said; “Sometime around 2021/2022, I was a victim of a scam and simultaneously a failed investment that cost me all I had saved at the time. It shook me deeply, but I told NO ONE about it. If you know me well enough, you will know I do not like to share my problems. I could be going through the worst and at the same time helping others solve their own problems but I just would never share mine.”

‘‘After I lost all the money I had then, Trouble started when I had to borrow money from different sources to settle all pending commitments and also fulfill certain responsibilities i have always believed were mine to fulfill.

‘‘I make money in millions so I never thought borrowing money to pay back with interests could ever be a problem. But I got too comfortable and it took me a long time to realize that I was using the money I was earning to pay back interests. Also, my financial recklessness did not help”, the content creator added.
