Life in Ghana - $2000 plus all benefits - deal?

Please look at other threads where the cost of living in Ghana is discussed. If your $2000 is just spending money then it is more than adequate for life here if you do not have a lavish lifestyle and you should be able to save

Thank You madam.

Sounds like a good deal if they are giving you that on top of a home and a car?  Unless you live a lavish lifestyle you should not really have a problem.

Hi Rohinish,
Which sector of occupation is that your employer

I can best advice base on the occupational sector as well if is a good deal or NOT.

basic domestic expenses in Ghana, hoovers between $700.00 USD to $5,000.00 depending on your life style and commitments, $2,000.00 is very basic salary with perks might only add another $1,000.00 for your domestic expenses, however a professional blue collar expat that is a graduated and has a lot of experience, could be paid a $6,000.00 plus the normal perks, however if he works on a financial institution or bank, that is the basic salary. on the other perspective Ghana is a very peaceful and work oriented country with great future.

$2,000? I wouldn't get out out of bed for less than $8,000

cost of living is quit high in Ghana if you are alone than U$ 2000 would be enough but if you are coming with a family that amount of money wont be enough because food is very expensive in Ghana that's if you are talking about a well balanced meal. for a country with such low wages its shocking how the cost of living is so high and I am not talking about luxuries its basic food stuffs that I am talking about.
