WHAT IS THE REAL COST OF LIVING IN GHANA ? WHAT I SPEND IN A DAY WHILE LIVING ALONE IN GHANA
Cost of living in Ghana is, on average, 68.0% lower than in United States. Rent which forms a huge portion of most people’s expenditure in most places is, on average, 66.6% lower in Ghana than in United States.
In this video,
I share with you the cost of living in Accra, Ghana. We will explore various places in Accra and spend money of food, groceries, art work, petrol etc.
For anyone planning on visiting Ghana, move to Ghana or for anyone taking some time off to explore Ghana, this video will give you an idea on what to amount of money to budget for your trip out here to Ghana. I will also showcase a few touristy spots that are worth seeing should you decide to visit Ghana.

My name is Jasmine and I have relocated from Sydney Australia to Ghana in west Africa as of the year 2020.
My parents are of Ghanaian descent and so am I although I was born in Australia. Here on my channel, my goal is to give you a real glimpse into what it’s like to live in Ghana, from the Ghanaian food, to the Ghanaian culture, to the Ghanaian lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and help inspire to explore Ghana.
My prayer is that these videos do just that for several African’s in the diaspora.
I tell folks that Ghana is not cheap. Thanks for showing the truth.
Not at all xx
@@JasmineAmaa why. I'm trying to build a B&B there. Folks need beds and food.
Ghana is cheap.. Accra isn't cheap. There's a difference. Aside the petrol which is fixed everywhere people can get everything you purchased relatively cheaper in other parts of the country. Accra folks literally overprice everything. You should try doing a day in a life video in other cities in the country; ie. Kumasi, Takoradi, Aburi,Cape Coast and so on and lets see how much you'll spend in a day relatively
Great idea x
This patrol price is insane. It cost the same to fill the same car in los Angeles, which has one of the highest gas prices in the US, with a minimum wage of $16 an hour in LA, minimum wage in Ghana is $2 if not less. Like some folks say, the “math ain’t mathing”
I know right. it’s actually gone down a bit recently x
@@JasmineAmaa thats wild!
I feel like Ghana same price on America 🇺🇸 I don’t see the hype but I do love Ghana 🇬🇭 😊
Great content! I really love the art piece, you gave me an idea of where I'll get mine too! Because expenses tend to fluctuate a lot depending on what you're doing that day, it would be interesting to see a monthly view of this "cost of living in Ghana" covering the essentials at least: electricity, groceries, petrol, etc. Please continue with the great work.
Thanks for giving us an idea about the cost of living in Ghana. It's pretty high let's hope that the economy will improve so that things will become more affordable
Yeah I hope so too xx
Jasmine! CONGRATULATIONS on your new office! Yeah!
Thanks Howard 💕
I love this video. Thanks for sharing. I love you
Thanks so much ❤️❤️
Yes, ghana is not cheap, US is not cheap either, my gas here in the US is 65 on full tank and getting my nails done is thirty something and that’s just my toes and then I have to pay for my hands! Here in the US they went up on food too, but you find some cheap stuff, thank you Jasmine for sharing!❤️💯
Thanks for sharing too ❤️
You always have good learning and strong aura shinning all the way to. North Carolina
Thank you for always doing your best for us.
U r kind, thank u xx
love painting you purchased jasmine. that art centre looks familiar. believe our team visited there in 2015. if it's the same centre, locals had beautiful pieces and we purchased lots of beautiful art pieces.
Oh cool! 🥰
Great video , thanks Jasmine!
Thanks Barbara ❤️
Following your bliss and enjoying what is on offer everyday ❤❤

Thank you for showing us a glimpse of how much it would cost in Ghana, minus the car gas, it seems pretty okay compared to what I pay in the states. Love the art centre
Your videos are to the point and gives us a lot of inside Perspective about ghana...
Happy to hear this x
Love your content- super dope! I’ll be in Ghana in December again!
Thanks Del xx
OMG! Citizen Kwame's artwork is fantastic. 👍
Being a street seller is tough even in a developed country. Imagine it in the humid heat of Ghana... The hustle is real and no joke.
P.S.
How was the snail and fufu?
It was delicious 😋
He has some amazing arts xx
I always love your videos 😍 amazing job shining light on the locals. It was a pleasure meeting you at the wizkid concert lol Omg I love sun city banku and okro. You have to try biggie’s fufu and biggie’s is behind suncity
I love Biggies as well. I go there occasionally 😘😘
She's very real not going for expensive restaurants but local place for her lunch fufu of course not waste product likes fry rice and chicken
Lolol.

That was a nice day in the life of Ghana.
The cost of things in Ghana feels like only ever go up! Interested to learn more about how the pension contributions works.
Lovely art work by Citizen Kwame.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
I know right. Thank u. Id be happy to share more info in another vlog. 😘
@@JasmineAmaa that will be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽
Hi Queen,
Please be careful with the gel nail process since recent finding it can cause cancer. You are truly living your best life!!. Looking 😍, beautiful Car and house. God has Blessed you with your Loving caring 💖
PeAcE
Yes. Causes cancer
Ohh never knew. I will be mindful. Thanks Val xx
Thank you for sharing your 2 days with us. This isn't really a regular day. It would have been great if you could give a line item cost of everything from when you leave your home for breakfast on the road until you return after dinner and night time entertainment. What's the cost of each? I didn't see you mention all costs. That's what I think of when I see someone listing out what it cost living single in Ghana. Any chance you'll do another video of a normal day in the life?
I like how she says the follow your blaze rhythm! mind-blowing🤑
Follow your bliss 💕
@@JasmineAmaa tnx❤
Jasmine I love the story line ❤
Thanks Theo xx
I love the art works and will will passby anytime am in Ghana
They have so much variety 💕
Very nice video.
Thank you very much! 💕
Hi princess Jasmine. Thanks for this video. I think I can have a general idea how it cost to live in Ghana.
Happy to hear this Keysha xx
Ma how many cameras did you use to shoot this ? So well put 👌👌
Petro in Ghana is expensive.
I would love to visit and purchase from that art center and those other shops. I saw some things I would like.
Ghana bound. 🇬🇭

Oh thank you! X

Ooh, she really played the "I'm an influencer" card! 😆
Wow! Gas is expensive….
How is Aisha, we have not seen her for a while. Hope she is doing well.
Shes very well xx
😍😍😍
❤️❤️
eh so our our roads are still not marked, i mean no road makings,i have been monitoring from ur videos still hmm,.........
No ohh
Not bad for that painting it worth the money, also the amount for your nails that's just a fraction of only you're fingers in the USA.
❤ he got nice frames
People who work in hospitals in Ghana make about 3000- 4000 cedi's a month. Nurses ,nutritionist and radiology technicians .How do they survive?
I guess u gotta live according to what u can afford. Most people do their best with what they have xx
Can you explain the pension you set up. I have never heard of that in Africa unless you are a government worker /civil servant . How does it work ? At what age do they start paying out ?
It's pension for self employed people through the tax you pay.
It is NOT at all PENSION but SSNIT is a Social Security plan that employers pay for employees. We do this for our school workers. So Jasmine as self employed TH-camr unclear what scheme for SSNIT she's doing but so much shady dealings in Ghana!
@@madjoabutterfly both employees in the public and private sector as well as self employed individuals can make contributions to snnit towards their pension .. u can research about it to know more
Jasmine sooner we wld be seeing u in international platforms
Amen 🙏🏾❤️
we know the sun in gh no bi joke but the sun here on the desert make u no try sis
Lolol haven’t experienced that yet
hi, does Kwame take orders and deliver to the UK?
I think so, please whatsapp him. Do let him know u found him through me 🥰
You have a nice car.
Thank u xx
How long does a full tank last you?
About a week, depending on my travels
Fantastic expose. A few questions... How long does the gas purchased last for your everyday runnings; and why the need to hide your licence plates? What nefarious things can people do with this knowledge?
Gas lasts about a week.
I hide my number plates cos theres no reason for it to be online 😘
@@JasmineAmaa Ah ... Gas goes fairly decent. I get that there's no need for it to be online... But want to understand what kind of information can be garnered from it in Ghana. I recall when many people here in the States used to hide it when posting on TH-cam... but see less of this now. Fair also if you stand by the general want to keep it private as mentioned.
It's good that she hide her license plate or anything that a person can identify her by. There are sick minded people in this world that seek to cause you harm. She should always be cautious.
Aaaw Jasmine found a husband 😍
600 cedis to fill ur gas tank 😮. Damnnn
That’s expensive
Wow. I went to Ghana in 2006. The 1st time I went to an Art Centre, ppl kept grabbing/pulling me & in my personal space. I was like what the hell is this? I was very uncomfortable. I knew they weren't trying to hurt me or scare me. They just wanted me to see what they had. 1 guy was weird. He handed me something. I told him it was beautiful, but no thank you. He put his hands up, refused to take it & said I had to buy it. He wouldn't take it back. He said I was from the US & could afford it. After a minute I told him I'm not going to buy it. You either take it...or I'm throwing it & breaking it. He was pissed.
Omg wow, things must’ve changed significantly since then, sorry to hear about that experience x
@@JasmineAmaa I only had 1 bad experience. Everything else was the best trip I've ever had. I took my Grandmother w/me. It was wonderful. That's why I'm moving to Ghana w/in 3 years. No worries. I can't wait to move!
How much was lunch?
The location of the shop plaise
Accra Art Centre xx
Ghana is not expensive. It rather depends on your spending lifestyle. Depending on your spending lifestyle any where in the world can be affordable or expensive.
Eiiish Chale be serious Ghana is very very expensive with the 3rd world infrastructure high petrol, high costs of food, dealing with lights out, horrible roads, dust, healthcare not up to atandards, so even for average Ghanaian too much and so me visiting from USA all too high! I just left after 2 weeks and was spending sometimes 2000 cedis a day, blood sucking cedis, and I couldn't wait to return back to NYC last week.
Among African countries Ghana leads as most expensive according to statistics and I've been to 8 on continent.

Title: what I spend in a day living alone in Ghana.
After watching about 12mins of the video, I honestly don't think that the title matches the content in the video. I don't know if there exit such a person who buys artwork on a daily basis or gets her nails done on daily basis.
coconut is now 6cedis? boi... this was just 2cedis in 2021
Mise
Jasmine am jealous I love chop bar fufu😋👍🏿👀
🤣🤣 the best
Coconut is 6ghc now eiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
Crazyyy
please fill it for me, there nor 800gh is gone
Enye easy
I love it there
but it seems like y'all live in a rich life like America
But what if you don't have that kind of money but you have a job just to make enough to get by?🤔
Honestly, I can't date a Ghanaian woman who shops in Ghana like this, why imported can beans , when local beans is much cheaper and more healthy with no presevertive.
Lol
12:06 are you sure ? Hehhee
Ei this painting for 800gh..hmmmmmm
Lol
Girl, I was just watching 👀 you on TV and had to come here and comment.
Take video down and remove those sensitive pictures of birth certificate, ecowas ID card, business registration.
Not safe for you sister.
Take it off quickly 👀 👀 👀
I found them on google. They are not my personal details. X
@@JasmineAmaa smart.
I love you 😍 💗
Total Cost to Live in Ghana.
First thing first nails, forget about rent, you can’t live, without getting your nails done😂🎬🇬🇭😎🙏🏾🎥🌍
Basically lol
I do have another video where i share things like rent, electricity etc
@@JasmineAmaa I will watch it, you raised a standard and if we want to live in the Big Cities we have to know what our women desire🥂🙏🏾❤️
Stop misrepresenting our Motherland. Is doing the nails or buying an art work a daily necessity?
You are so pretty.
Thank u 😊
