Right now in Ghana, no matter the amount of money you are holding, it finish so quickly – Ernestina

According to report by Kessbenonline on Thursday 12, 2026, Ernestina Adwoa Kyerewaa has expressed concern over the rising cost of living in Ghana, lamenting that the increasing prices of goods and services have made it extremely difficult for individuals and households to manage their finances.

Speaking during an interview on Kessben FM with Dr. Kwame Adinkrah, she observed that the current economic conditions have placed considerable financial pressure on Ghanaians, making it increasingly challenging for people to meet their daily needs.

According to her, the situation has become worrying because money no longer lasts as long as it used to, regardless of the amount an individual earns or has available. She explained that the high cost of basic necessities and other essential services means people spend a significant portion of their income within a short period.

Kyerewaa noted that the situation reflects the financial difficulties many Ghanaians are experiencing as they struggle to cope with the increasing cost of maintaining their households and meeting everyday expenses.

She stressed that even individuals who may have relatively substantial amounts of money at their disposal are finding it difficult to make their finances last, given the rate at which expenses continue to accumulate.

“Right now in Ghana, no matter the amount of money you are holding, it finishes so quickly,” she lamented.

Her comments have brought renewed attention to the cost-of-living challenges confronting households across the country, particularly as rising prices continue to affect purchasing power and financial stability.

For many Ghanaians, managing monthly income has become a major challenge, with expenses such as food, transportation, utility bills, accommodation and other necessities placing increasing demands on household budgets.

Kyerewaa’s remarks highlight the growing concerns among citizens about the affordability of everyday life and the need for economic conditions that allow individuals and families to meet their basic needs without facing excessive financial pressure.
