With it he was able to pay the £10k deposit on the car he always wanted – a £55k GLC Mercedes – buy a £3.4k Tag Carrera watch and splash out £7k on a trip to Disneyland for his wife and two kids.
Keval, a chartered engineer, said: “I didn’t do the sensible thing and pay my mortgage off!
“Money just went on family stuff.
“We went to Disneyland Florida and I bought a GLC Merc. I always wanted to get that and I’ve gone and got it as soon as I got the money.

"I probably spent more money than I actually got.

Claudio Ranieri was the mastermind behind the astonishing title win with relegation-favourites Leicester.
And Keval admits he was devastated to see the Italian unceremoniously axed in February.
The Foxes hovered just above the relegation zone and looked to be headed towards the Championship before Craig Shakespeare took over. They are now safe in 11th.

Keval said: "It's sad it happened to someone who inspired Leicester to be where they were. You never expect a manager to win the Premier League trophy in the first year and he did it."
But as a Leicester fan he accepts it was an ugly decision that had to be made.
He added: "It's a big story about keeping Leicester in the Premier League, and the management had to step in at some point.
"Suddenly, they're playing good so I don't know what happened there!"
He continued: "Leicester have done well to get out of the relegation battle.
"They need to continue this and next year will be another year."
