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

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?
