In fact, many people in their 20s and 30s don’t even have jobs.
Ghana’s unemployment rate is very highPeople who earn 5,000 have difficulty saving because of the cost of living.
With a salary of 5,000, you could save 300 years to buy a government affordable housing project.— Scanty SZN (@EiiScanty) March 31, 2024
Ghs5000 is $380. People are leaving Ghana not just because of the pay, but because of the good system. Therefore, you get better medical services, better education, and a better standard of living. GH is hard, overseas is too hard, but please choose “hard” wisely ?????????

You’re away from a good lifestyle, but I think 5000+ in your 20s or 30s is enough to be free to leave here.
You are 25-30 years old and have two children and a wife. It’s rent. I think 5000 is enough if you pay the utilities. I don’t blame you.Men give you money in addition to your salary.

If I had 100,000 yen a month, I would still quit. Because it’s not about earning your first 10,000, it’s about earning system cherries. When I woke up early in the morning, there was no light. In the evening, there is light, but the internet cable is cut out. The next morning, a trailer at the top of the main street is ruined, causing a huge traffic jam. Chiley Way??

5,000 people don’t earn that much, as more than 70% of public sector workers earn less than 3,000 per month. And it’s not just about money, it’s also about quality of life. Even if it is not convenient for you, such as no running water, bad roads, lack of medical care, etc., please do it for the sake of your unborn children.
