He claimed that he had to resort to this method of saving to better manage his finances after mismanaging them the previous year.
Although the year is not yet over, he decided to break the box open because, according to him, he had found something 'beautiful' he wanted to buy.
However, he stated that his savings would have been much larger if his content performed as well on other platforms, such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, as it does on TikTok.
He said:
"I would post a video on TikTok and get something over 200k views. I'll post the same video on Instagram and Facebook, and I'll be getting 150 views. Literally 150 views. Well, I don't know why, but at least I'm getting the money from TikTok, so it's all cool."
He also clarified that the total amount in the susu included not only his regular TikTok earnings but also income from advertisement deals with various companies.
He went on to open the savings box and started counting the money carefully. After counting the money, he proudly announced the total amount saved.
He broke down the total, showing ten bundles of GH₵10,000 each, with many in the GH₵200 denomination. The total amount was GH₵100,000, with an additional GH₵4,750 in cash, making the total GH₵104,750.
