Brother Sammy Recalls Owning 14 Cars While Living in a Rented House

Ghanaian gospel musician Brother Sammy has reflected on a time when he owned 14 cars but was still living in rented accommodation, saying advice from an elderly man prompted him to reconsider his financial priorities.

The musician said he met the man at a funeral, where a conversation about his vehicles and living arrangements left a lasting impression on him.

According to Brother Sammy, the elderly man noticed that he had arrived at the funeral in different cars on successive days. After learning that the musician owned several vehicles but did not have a house of his own, the man encouraged him to sell some of the cars and invest in a home.

Brother Sammy recalled that the man shared his own experience of working abroad and sending money home for a house to be built. On his return, the man discovered that the project had not been completed and he was living in a family house.

The musician said the account made him think more carefully about his own spending and the importance of planning for the future.

Brother Sammy said that after performing at the funeral, someone offered to buy the Toyota Camry he had driven to the event. He sold the vehicle and used the money to purchase land the following day.

He said he went on to sell other cars, even though he had not advertised them. After selling five vehicles, he looked for the elderly man to thank him and eventually found him after two unsuccessful visits.

The musician said he gave the man an envelope containing some of the proceeds as a gesture of appreciation. He added that the encounter changed both his financial outlook and the way he relates to other people.
