Hello ALASKABEAR and welcome to Expat.com!

Your thread has been moved to Accra forum for better visibility.

I invite you to take a look at the forum, it may help.;)

It all depends on your lifestyle and where you want to live. When you consider what the average Ghanaian earns then the amount you quote sounds a lot of money but you, as an expat, will need accommodation. If you decide to live in Accra that could be expensive. If you need a car that will also be an expense and then you will need some form of medical insurance etc. Ghana is not a cheap country. Good luck with your decision

THANK YOU FOR FEEDBACK.  I WILL NOT NEED A  PLACE TO LIVE. MY WIFE IS THERE AND HAS AN APARTMENT FOR US, SHE IS WORKING AS A SCHOOL TEACHER THERE NOW.

If you have accommodation that will make a difference. As I said it all depends on your lifestyle.

If your wife is in Ghana already and working then I would think she would be the best person to answer your question or advice since she would have seen and experienced a lot by now?
