Media personality Willis Raburu has candidly shared his past struggles, revealing that there was a time he was forced to drastically downgrade his lifestyle despite being a familiar face on television.
Speaking in a reflective video, Raburu admitted that public perception often paints celebrities as financially stable and comfortable, yet behind the scenes, many endure silent battles.
He disclosed that during one of the toughest periods of his life, he had to make significant lifestyle adjustments, including moving to a smaller house and cutting down on expenses, just to stay afloat.
The former Citizen TV presenter said the experience humbled him and taught him valuable lessons about financial discipline, contentment, and self-awareness.
