My Monthly Budget For Living in Ghana | Expenses in Ghana

[@Boborasshanti]

Exactly what Africa needs. Positive, constructive people. Wish I had ties on the continent.

[@oluakinwale4859]

@ David Rubin - u don't need to have ties to Africa to live in Africa. U must or can make friends with trust worthy Africans who make regular trips back to Africa. Just choose carefully and wisely. Friends u make at college or university are some of the best. There are foreign students from African countries in various universities in America and Europe

Not knocking Ghana at all, but you can live in India for much less, and the atmosphere and ambience there is like nowhere else. I'm not just saying that because I'm of Indian origin, it really is special. Things have crept up in price in recent times. But it's much cheaper and nicer than Ghana. And yes, I have been to Ghana.
