YOUNG MAN SPEND INHERITANCE IN A YEAR, ENDS UP IN DEBT

A man shared a story on how he got into debt after inheriting a large amount of money from his parents.

Here is the story:

I often hear stories of people win TOTO but end up getting poorer after that and I did not believe it.

My parents left me when I was young and I was only allowed access to the inheritance at 25-years-old. The sum is something like winning a TOTO, during that age I was not smart with the handling of money and I end up getting tons of rubbish.

I bought a car, a branded watch and I took a loan to get a condominium. I was not doing any monthly financing and soon the money was gone in less than a year.

I could no longer pay for the condominium’s loan and I had to sell my car and branded watch to sustain. Even after selling my valuables, I did not wake up. I still continued my lavish lifestyle and I did not even bother buying any insurance as I believe that I was young and healthy.

A few months of jolly well fun and I ran out of money again. So I decided to rent out rooms in my condo to pay for the instalment while trying to secure a job.

The global pandemic hit me at this time and I could not find any tenants. I also did not secure a job in time.

My plan failed one after another and I decided to take a “private loan” which was the dumbest thing I did after getting an inheritance. The loan was the last move that destroyed me, I soon was getting harassed day and night as I have no means of returning and luckily I manage to rent out 1 room and make a partial payment to my monthly loan.

Even opening the mailbox strikes fear in my heart and It is always a letter of demand for my housing loan.

Now I live in fear, no money, no job, housing loan, private loans…

GUY THREATEN MOTHER WITH KNIFE BECAUSE SHE REFUSE TO GIVE HIM $5K

Loh Soon Fatt, 22-years-old, pleaded guilty to one count of criminal intimidation and one count of breaching a Personal Protection Order (PPO).

Another 3 counts of drug related charges were considered during his sentencing and he was also convicted on 2 counts of abusing methamphetamine.

He was sentenced to 1 year and 4 weeks of imprisonment on 6 October.

What happened?

In 2020, Loh harassed his 58-year-old adoptive other who was trying to sleep.

He also kicked her after she refused to give him money for a drivers’ license, in a separate incident.

Loh was then sentenced to 2 weeks of detention order, where he was locked up in prison but it didn’t come with a criminal record.

The victim had a PPO taken against him.

On 7 February earlier this year, Loh barged into the victim’s flat and demanded $5,000 from her to pay his bills.

She told him that she doesn’t earn a lot and didn’t have the money, to which Loh then threatened to kill her.

He asked her to mortgage her flat, and his adoptive mother then pretended to agree to because she was scared he would hurt her.

A police report was then made by the victim.
