When he saw a surprised passer by looking at him with astonishment, he just smiled and said - beginning of another million or something like that. That's when it occurred that every penny that you do not spend now will grow to become a lot more in the future!

Better to wake up later than never at all I guess but I still think about all the money that was thrown away and I am filled with regret about my foolishness.
