Tileh Pacbro explains why he runs from pressure to look rich
By William Muthama, August 31, 2026Dancer and content creator Tileh Pacbro has opened up about his approach to money, saying he avoids pressure to appear wealthy or match other people’s lifestyles.
Pacbro shared his thoughts on Sunday, August 30, 2026, while responding to a follower on Instagram who asked whether he also finds himself struggling financially despite his public profile.
The follower jokingly asked whether he sometimes gets so broke that he goes to bed hungry.
Pacbro admitted that he does run out of money at times but said that does not make him poor.
“Hehee, I do get broke sometimes, I’m not poor, but I’m not ultra rich either,” he said.
The dancer said he works every day like everyone else and acknowledged that sometimes things simply do not work out.
Not chasing wealth
Pacbro, who is 29, said he has chosen not to put unnecessary pressure on himself over money.
“I’m just 29, I don’t put pressure on myself,” he said.
He also said he does not compare his progress with that of other people, particularly when it comes to wealth.
“I don’t compare, and I don’t live a delusional life,” Pacbro said.
His remarks touch on the pressure created by social media, where people often showcase expensive lifestyles, cars, holidays and other signs of success.
Rather than trying to maintain such an image, Pacbro said he is comfortable with what he already has.
Protecting his peace
The dancer said being content has helped him protect his peace and avoid unnecessary financial pressure.
“I guard my peace by being contented with what I already have,” he said.
Pacbro added that he deliberately distances himself from people or situations that make him feel compelled to live beyond his means.
“I run VERY fast from anything or anyone who puts that kind of pressure on me,” he said
For Pacbro, financial success is therefore not about proving how much he can spend or keeping up with others.
