    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.

    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.

    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

    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”

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.

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.
