What people are saying
The responsibility was total. We put the money into the home. I only started saving my money after I turned 18.
My father died very early, he had separated from my mother, and she was a teacher.
I bought my first property at 18. While I saw other colleagues buying fancy cars, I was buying an apartment.
Those times when I stopped playing football and went to work were very much worth it.
