Now, when we say we are closing shop, it's not our bakery. It's our garden, because this is full-time work trying to grow food for your family.
A work I take seriously as well as making videos to document what we learn.

Accra's standard of living is so high like a developed country's, the difference is we don't get the benefits of a developed country, and the average Ghanaian doesn't get to earn enough money to live.

How to spend less in Accra.

1. Transportation is killer, use a bus sometimes, take a loading taxi instead of Uber, if you have a car, sometimes park it, and use Uber or public transport, especially if you're going somewhere you can easily go with public transport.

Welcome to Ghana, where you hire someone who is supposed to be skilled in their profession to do a job for you, but you end up needing to supervise, direct and work with them so they do it the right way.

One thing I'll advise is also advertise your wedding. Tell your friends, your parents' friends, suggest to them to give gifts in cash via momo, that's how you make a profit. 😁

If your partner is pushing for an extravagant wedding they are not ready to take care of, good luck to your relationship man, there's no winning here.
