Ghanaian singer, Wendy Shay, has opened up about her approach to spending, saying she only acquires expensive items when she can genuinely afford them.
Speaking during an interview, the singer explained that she does not believe in pretending to live a luxurious lifestyle beyond her financial means, insisting that she prefers to live within her means.
She recalled how she was mocked when she first joined the music industry after revealing that she could only afford an iPhone at the time.
According to her, although some people questioned why she was using only an iPhone despite her growing status in the entertainment industry, the phone was a significant achievement for her at the time.
Wendy Shay further explained that growing up in Germany, owning a phone was sometimes only possible through credit purchases because of her family’s financial circumstances.
“Growing up in Germany, if you should be having a phone, you should know it was on credit because there was no money to buy a phone,” she said.
However, she said her financial situation has since improved, allowing her to purchase expensive items without relying on credit.
“For now, if you see me having something expensive, it’s really because I can afford it,” she stated.
The singer maintained that she has no interest in keeping up appearances or impressing people with things she cannot afford.
