He added that when he disclosed his monthly earnings to his wife, who was then his girlfriend, she encouraged him to quit and pursue his passion instead.

“We went to a restaurant, and when they brought the bill, it was almost GH2,000. I nearly wept when I saw the bill. When she asked, I told her the bill was equivalent to three months' salary. She later asked me to stop the job.”

According to Lon Don, he knew she was committed to the relationship because she gave him a car even before they started dating.

He added that after he left his teaching job, his Black American woman set up a gym studio for him to manage. The income from the business served as financial support while he learnt new skills.
