Media Mogul Simon Cowell has published a letter to himself as his 50th birthday approaches.
Simon Cowell has written an introspective letter to his younger self, which has been published in British newspaper the Daily Mail.
The star is brutally honest as he looks back on his career, which hit the skids in the 1990s, when he became bankrupt.
The 49-year-old wrote: “In the end, you cannot get rid of the house or the stupid white Porsche quick enough.
“You have hit rock bottom and it is, in a strange way, a huge relief. Yet the funny thing is, what you don’t know, Simon, is that you will never again feel so carefree in your entire life.”
He adds: “You have made a lot of money by listening to what your heart and your head are saying. It took you years, but you got there in the end.”
Cowell ends by telling his younger self to be careful about what he buys.
He wrote: “What would you tell your younger self about all this? It sounds a bit boring, but it is very important: only buy what you can afford. Simple as that. Carrying a debt is a much bigger burden than having nothing.”
