With a household of 6, we live in the capital of Ghana in a 4 bedroom house. Here's our monthly spending breakdown. The exchange rate is $1 to 14 cedis in Oct. when the video was posted.
The algorithms has become a mind reader now😂. I was just thinking about this today and then this video appeared! Thanks for sharing! I didn’t hear you mention anything about rent though…
Greetings from India 🇮🇳...my cousin married to Ghanian man ..they have thier own house and chicken farm with grocery store ..I have plans to move Ghana for farming ..God Bless Ghana 🇬🇭 🙏 🙌 ❤
In america, their form or indoctrination/brainwashing of black children is free, actually they should pay the black parent. White Racist does not want your black child educated they want them to grow up without any knowledge of self and lacking history of our people's struggles
We brought bug spray initially and used to spray ourselves before going to sleep but stopped over time because we just got tired of doing it. We simply tried to keep the mosquitoes out of the house as much as possible. We spray all throughout the house during the day while the house is not occupied and it helps to kill/ keep them out. Wearing clothes that cover helps at night. I wish I had an easy answer, unfortunately I'm still trying to figure it out 😆. I know there are various mosquito repellent out there to try though
Yes there is. Unfortunately, all the power outages issues can mess up your refrigerator too. Many people opt for back up power supply like generators. Others who can afford have solar panels
Hi, I put this video together months ago and used what the cedi to dollar rate was then. The rates change so often, I stopped putting them in the videos. Currently, $1 is about 12/13 cedis. At the time, it was around 13/14 cedis.
Great video. My parents recently retired in Ghana. They don’t have rent or mortgage as they built their house. Currently I sent them $1300 per month which they say is tight. Would you agree with this? It’s just the two of them.
I'm not sure what you're parent's lifestyle is like or where they live but $1300 is more than enough for my family. You're cost of living is directly influenced by your lifestyle so If you want to live as close and comfortable as you do abroad, you're going to spend more. For example, if you live close to the airport or East Legon, expect to pay more for everything. If you have AC, washers and dryers, expect to pay more in electricity and water. Drinking bottled water or sachet water. So many different factors. And then there's the constant price increase for goods and services.
I just don’t understand why there only seems to be two options financially in Ghana when I watch these type of videos. It’s either living basically bare bones (very limited extras) or “balling out”. That is what concerns me. It also seems to be some judgement directed toward people if they want to live in Accra in gated communities with extras. Even though I must say that you didn’t come across that way at all….but everyone else does.
I hear you. Ghana is huge and there's a space for everyone. I think it seems like there's only 2 extreme ends of the financial spectrum but there are many people in between who are doing just fine and finding their balance. But I do feel that they reflect only a small portion of the population. Ultimately, everyone just fits where they can afford and live how they know best.
Question: We just moved to Accra, Oct. 2023. the person that shops for food spends $100 weekly, 4 people. is this a reasonable cost for normal food shopping,? we do not go out to eat!
I know the cost of food has gone up since I made this video but 1100 cedis per week on food for a household of 4 sounds steep. But I'm curious what type of food is being cooked weekly. Local foods are a bit cheaper to prepare but foreign food ingredients can be pretty expensive. Is that cost including transportation? I used to buy the groceries myself sometimes or w lolould go with my nanny so I was aware of the prices too.
I want to relocate to ghanan as a black Hataian my job is remote and im wondering if i would survive making about 2k USD a Month, ...sounds like internet is 30usd a day
I honestly think you survive making that kind of money. It all depends on your lifestyle. The Internet can be pricey, especially for those working virtually. I've heard of people spending a couple hundred dollars per month on the best Internet. With proper planning and research, you can make your move a reality. 👍🏾👊🏾🙂
Honestly, it depends on various factors especially the person's lifestyle and where they live in the country. $100 is about 1400 ghc rightnow and that might be enough for a local even with all the constant price increase but most locals don't live the comfortable life we're used to in the West.
Near my area (McCarthy Hill), something decent will be at least 800 ghc per month and up which is I believe $69 now. A place with decent roads and shops around in the area will be at least 1200 ghc and more. Price honestly vary based on location.
Aww I would love to but unfortunately, we don't have any extra space 😩. I hope you find a suitable living arrangement though. Best wishes on your trip and enjoy Ghana 🙂
If you are still looking accommodations, my family has apartment homes in Ghana. Specifically in Accra, Aburi and the volta region in close proximity to the beach
I pay tuition every term/ 3 months. Most recent one , I paid about 1500 ghc for the 3 kids including a few school supplies. I'm already expecting their cost to increase by next term.
@@salmahsjourney3801 That was for all 3 kids. My oldest two were about 330 ghs and my youngest was about 400 ghs. Then I bought school supplies and textbooks
I believe you still should be excited for the experience that you are or will have in the future don't let any of this discourage you if the most high is calling you to even let your feet touch the soil do so Get your own experience peace love and light
