Beverly Afaglo recently shared her thoughts on social media culture, noting that many people who showcase luxury lifestyles online often do so for the sake of gaining followers.During an interview with Nana Romeo on Accra 100.5 FM’s Ayekoo Ayekoo, the actress expressed her belief that portraying a life of affluence, especially when it doesn't reflect one's true circumstances, offers little benefit in the long run.“People post cars that are not theirs, pose around and talk about them. Some also buy their own cars and announce it was a gift from their man, to praise him, and when they break up, that’s when the embarrassing truth comes out,” she cited.She highlighted the common practice of people flaunting expensive cars or claiming they received lavish gifts from their partners, only for the truth to emerge after a breakup.“the speed at which they want to acquire things in life.“I mean I’m 40. I don’t know why a 25-year-old should drive the car I drive at all cost. That was not even the plan for me when I was 25,” she said.Afaglo, who described herself as someone who avoids being boastful, emphasized the importance of living authentically."It’s unnecessary to always try to impress people. Just live your life,” she advised, explaining that while she’s open to compliments, she doesn’t actively seek validation for her fashion sense or possessions.Speaking on the pressures faced by younger generations, she cautioned against rushing to acquire material things.“God can bless you to afford some things. Praise the Lord. A partner could come into your life and give you luxurious things. It’s good. But don’t go and heap on yourself many men, take money from them, put it together and buy that car or rent a place in East Legon because you want to create an impression that you are a big girl [successful and significant].
"If you do this, you’ll find yourself living the life of a prostitute. Eventually, not wanting to be disgraced because of rent will force you into a tight corner,” she said.
“The over-speeding in life is too much. If you are made to feel as though you’re lagging behind, retort: ‘How old am I? I have a long way ahead of me,” the award-winning actress encouraged.
