He was lucky to stumble into wealth at an early age, but since he was not mature to handle this wealth, he kept on squandering his money for no reason.
I feel just because he didn't have value for money, so he kept on spending things that were not aligned with anything. He could not think of any business to start. He was just spending the money and involving in a thing that does not add value to money.
It was such a mess for him. After some few years, he found himself as an average man, still working for a mini store. That was when he found wisdom and was able to start learning how to manage life.
Sometimes life has to push you down before you can learn a lesson, but I ask, must you allow life to bring us down before we can learn a lesson?
Can't you learn from others and make amendments and never to make the mistake again?
