A Ghanaian lady living in the United States has sparked a lively debate on social media after expressing shock at the high cost of living in America. She revealed that she spent $70, equivalent to GHC 1,050, on a few Ghanaian dishes, including two balls of GA Kenkey, schrimps, fish, and a bottle of water, as well as tasteless shito.
Her post drew a mix of reactions, with some sympathizing with her while others teased her about the cost.
One person joked, “Tell her to leave one room for me…I’ll lodge there after the World Cup matches and then look for accommodation.” Another commented, “In the USA, you can earn $70 in hours, but in Ghana, it takes approximately 2 months to earn the equivalent.”
Some people defended the cost, saying that African markets are generally expensive, while others accused her of exaggerating. One person advised her to return home, saying, “If you can’t handle it, just come back home…we’re tired of your complaints.”
The debate highlights the challenges faced by Ghanaians living abroad and the differences in cost of living between countries. While some people struggle to adjust to the high cost of living in foreign countries, others see it as a worthwhile trade-off for better opportunities.
