I\u2019ve spent more than I usually spend in the US. I spend about $100 to $150 (GHS2,107) a week, but you can easily spend $100 daily. So far, I\u2019ve spent maybe $1500 or more.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI have a couple of weeks more, but I\u2019m running away. But it depends on the lifestyle. I hang out with friends and family, so you tend to spend a little bit more. If I lived here, I don\u2019t think I would be spending that much money,\u201d the US-based Ghanaian said.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMr Asamoah advised young adults to get an education to avoid doing odd jobs. He believes that education is the key, and the youth must take advantage of the vast knowledge.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFerdinand holds online classes for people who want to study cybersecurity.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\nKindly watch the full interview below;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I\u2019ve Spent Over $1000 In A Few Weeks,I\u2019m Running Back To The US, Ghana Is Hot - US-Based Ghanaian\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t3vWOtoEKnc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: SVTVAfrica.com (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
