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 🇬🇭 🙏 🙌 ❤
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
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.
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.
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 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. 👍🏾👊🏾🙂
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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

Dope video. Thanks for putting this together
Thank you! I love your name!
Thanks 🙂
Thank you for the information 🙏
Always welcome 🙂
My husband is from West Africa.
We have been toying with the idea of possibly moving to Ghana.
This info is helpful in seeing the possibility or not.
Love this video I just subscribed

Thank you for this informative overview of cost of living in Ghana. I have subscribed today! Much appreciated.
Always welcome sis. Thx for the sub 🙂
bills in Ghana are more cheaper compare to uk
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…
Glad to be of service. We paid our rent 2 yrs in advance, which is the norm in GH. Most places require 1 or more yrs advance payment.
Excellent video💚💚💚
🙏🙂
Lovely

Aww welcome to the family!! Good luck on the move 🙂
Courage
MyssDarkNLuvly! Many Thanks! Yeah!
Welcome 🙂
How expensive is medical care if one of you gets sick? I looked at some of your earlier videos I understand how you can live so inexpensively.
Subscribed the cost of living is hitting people all over the world with this phony war i love ghana can not wait to come back 😊
Enjoy your return 🙂✌🏾♥️🇬🇭
There is no any price regulation in ghana,when things go up they dont come down
I’m currently to how and what you do about the mosquitoes.
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
i here power goes out so much every video ...is there an issue with refrigeration ?
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
Thanks - How have the kids adjusted?
They have done well. Even started speaking Twi but as expected, they still have some challenges occasionally
I am trying to understand the amounts needed to be okay. If 100 US is sent does that help at all or not?
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.
Will it help if you bulk purchsed ?
Great idea for non perishable items. But wouldn't do it with anything that requires refrigeration unless I get back up power source.

$1300 is a lot of money for 2 people with no rent. Hmm . There are family of 5 living on $300-$500/month. Or even less
It’s definitely a lot considering they’re retired. Are they playing bingo with that money? lol
@@salmahsjourney3801That's over 14 thousand cedis!!!! well done for doing this for them,
It's a lot of money
@@stellafosua5578especially since they own their own house,

you get more for the british pound than the us dollar.
Oh ok. Didn't know
I wish she would've told us what conversion of cedes is to USD. Because we have no idea what cedes to USD amounts are.
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.
1000 is like 11000 in Ghana
I get 15 cedis to the uk pound
@@NuclearWarninqsI use send wave and exchange rate,is 11 to 1
EDUCATION should B Free
I agree 💯
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
Public education is free from class 1 to high school. But most people prefer private schools before kids reach high school.
I'm planning to move to Ghana next month can you please accommodate me for while
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
@@Bobbybouch666 I'm still looking for an accomodations staying for few months pls would you accommodate me 🙏
@@Realbuzztv. Free bonto? Who does that in Ghana to total strangers?
They have young children, how can you ask for that?
Are you in Accra!
I was but already left. Definitely looking forward to going back
How much is a typical one bedroom apartment ?
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.
Thanks,I'm seeking to visit and establish something there .
What about tuition
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.
@@myssdarknluvly 1500 ghs per child or for 3 kids combined
@@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
@@myssdarknluvly that’s pretty good! Enjoy Ghana
So...this amount could be less if you're a single person
Yes. but keep in mind costs rise daily in Ghana so there's no telling.
Thanks for the video. Would be visiting your country next month. Can you be reached via email?
Hi, you can reach me at myssdarknluvly@gmail.com. Safe travels! 🙂
Maaan this is why Africa DONT excites me anymore. Too much headache just to do this and that.
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
🤎🤎🤎
This is not a detailed cost of living.
Everyone's cost of living in Ghana varies and this is my family's. But I'm sure you can find other videos to fit what you're looking for
