In this Spanish monologue, Mauro Stendel recounts how, at age 25, the end of the COVID‑19 pandemic brought a sudden influx of liquid cash—six or seven hundred thousand dollars—into his accounts. Fueled by this windfall, he entered a period of extravagant spending: buying multiple cars, traveling extensively, acquiring a private plane, and purchasing a mansion. While he continued to generate income, the rapid lifestyle inflation left him psychologically unsettled. He describes feeling bored, restless, and trapped in a modest apartment eating Uber Eats despite having billed millions during the pandemic. Mauro reflects on this dark phase in his third book, noting that without the pandemic he would have been content with a good car and a house, but the pandemic’s end forced a stark confrontation with his excesses. He also references “Ricky Fortuna” as a related anecdote.
