as a 19 year old black south african who cant afford higher education, this info is really invaluable, thank you so much. Ill try to make the most of this life of mine by making better money decisions.
Dude, I'd you think higher education is how to make money in life then you won't achieve a thing in life. There are people I schooled with who dropped out driving Italian super cars while I went to drown my self in debt with student loans and more... I'm now watching videos like this to fix my younger dumb choices to then start making credit to eventually make money (gold)... Don't waste your life.. get the experience that you need or start something up and make the credit you need to have a good life.
@TalkSteer I get where you're coming from man but it's quite wrong to a big extent. Many successful big entrepreneurs in south africa for example were former Chartered Accountants/Engineers etc

@AngryJellyFish59 University is expensive. Supporting your family is expensive. First gotta pay your life time of debt before you can build wealth unfortunately.
I have been following and watching Dave Ramsey's content for years. Great to finally see a South African version. Thanks! Every time I hit the R10k emergency fund mark, I get hit by a crisis and need to start from scratch again. But it really is a life changer to not panic and try to get more debt to get out of the crisis, financially and mentally.
Thanks Stefan. It was fun to see how we can apply his principles to our unique S'affa environment! Well done on maintaining your Emergency Fund. It is serving its exact purpose of keeping you out of the short term debt trap, and although it sometimes feels a bit discouraging if you need to go back to Step one every time, it remains the foundation upon which your financial future are built. :)
Hi Pieter, you have done another well designed presentation, your Baby Steps adjusted from Dave Ramsey to what South Africans can relate to and especially helpful for new investors ( or Wealth Builders). I plan to watch your EEquities video you did previously again, to learn how to use this platform .😊
So glad I came across your channel. Glad that I'm taking these baby steps. Just closed my overdraft last month and my goal is to pay off my credit card this year. I don't have an Emergency fund yet as I really want to get rid of this credit card so badly.
Just a head up to everyone, easy equities has started charging a R25 per month fee unless you are able to gather enough "thrive" points. So if you are planning on depositing money and forgetting about it, this will not be possible as you will have to jump through all their hoops every month to avoid the R25 fee. It might not seem like that much but it will eat into your profits over the long term
@kamogelok5315 in the South African context I'll be honest I'm not sure what's available, I've been using EasyEquities for the last 3 years but after leaving the country a year ago I opened an account at a European brokerage account. I pay a sight commission on each transaction but no monthly fees, so for buy and hold investors, that plan on keeping stocks for longer periods of time and thereby massively reducing fees (fewer transactions = fewer fees) then doing it this way is far cheaper. While I have gotten good returns on EasyEquities I actually plan on closing my account with them and transferring all those funds to my new brokerage account since in the long run my losses due to taxes on that money will be less than those monthly fees. So my suggestion would be to find a broker that would give you access to foreign markets but does not charge the monthly fees. If I'm not mistaken FNB allows you to trade stocks but I'm not sure what their fees are or how they compare to the competition and since it's no longer relevant to me I'm not going to waste my time looking into that. I will leave that for you to find out and wish you the best in doing so!
Great video. Started the baby steps with my wife earlier this year and currently on baby step 3. I think this plan is something ALL South Africans need to get on!
Thank you for this education. It is very simple and straight forward for a regular South African who knows nothing about financial education. The aim is to put these steps in to action. You've gained a follower
Great video. Thanks for your time, energy and effort. If one watches this and ignores it... Then they only have themselves to blame when they don't see financial freedom. It will take long, but this is a blueprint.
If you have a Flexi-bond for your homeloan, I always advise people to use it as their emergency savings fund. Yes, it might be difficult to avoid the temptation of using it on dumb sh*t, but if you can control your impulses it is the best location to stash some cash. You are effectively getting "interest" at your homeloan rate and it is tax free. No bank or money market account is likely to beat that. Your thoughts?
Amazing as always, love the memes on the vids to make the learning more fun. I see you have 2.6k views but only less than 500 likes. People sometimes forget to click on the like button. I know you probably don't want to seem repetitive, but reminding the viewers to like in the beginning and at end of the videos would probably help
I love your interpretation that is relevant to South Africans, thank you for this. It's significantly simplified and detailed. I should hope I can follow these steps🙂 Please keep the videos coming!
I took your advice a year ago and opened a EE TFSA and have only been investing in the core shares total world etf. Believe me when I say I'm SHOCKED by the amazing performance, I can't thank you enough!!!
Hi all. I am one of Pieter’s Clients for his lifestyle financial planning. Just want to say, if you think you’ll benefit from financial planning I definitely think it is worth scheduling an initial consultation.
If you living alone, and dont have any responsibilities, I would say depending on how much you earn, maybe try saving for an entire year, you wont regret it
Looked for the Core Shares on your previous video and couldn't find it, thanks for the education and clarity on the change!! Been following for a while, you're doing a great job Doc! 💯
Love your content brother❤ Especially giving the 10% to your Tithes and church or giving to the man on the street You gained a follower all the best to reach your 30 000 followers❤
thank u pieter. Learned a lot with your content. Most south africans struggle to save amounts like R 3000 but i am sure if we start small and work on debt , we will get there
You are most welcome Angelique. I'm glad the video helped. :) That is why we call it "Baby Steps". Never estimate the power of taking small steps in the right direction over a long period of time. Just like investments, good habits compound, and although R 3 000 may be a lot for one person, R 300 will be a lot more for someone else. The only person that you need to compare yourself to is your yesterday self. Take each step and spend as much time as is needed. Consistency is key :)
Pieter! Great job on this video Bud.🔥 It performed sooo well 👏👏👏 Definitely added a lot of value here and its nice that it was well received. Keep up the good work. 😉👌 Timm & Justin
Hi. Can you make another Retirement investment/planning video. Discussing different options such as RAs, Pension funds, Provident funds, etc.. "How to invest for retirement in South Africa pt2" ?
Bro this is such a great video!!! One of the most frustrating things that I find is that all of the financial advice videos I find online generally apply to Americans. Don't get me wrong they have some great advice but ALOT of there advice has nothing to do with South Africans. It would actually be GREAT if you could start a series where you translate popular financial advise videos aimed at Americans and translate it for South Africans.
Hi, I just saw your baby steps video and I just wanted your opinion on two companies and products. I opened a retirement annuity plan with Liberty. Then I took out a Life cover with Capital legacy. I'm not 100% sure about Capital legacy, I just didn't like any of the other insurancers. Also can you make a video about life cover in South Africa? What to look out for, how it should be used? What should you put in your will etc?
As someone that recently got their degree in accounting, I really appreciate these real life investment opportunities you put online for free. What a selfless act. Definitely subscribing 🙌🏾
RE: retirement annuity. I would place 55% in the sygnia enhanced all bond and 45% into s&p500/fang+ai. I would not invest into any South African equities. and I would also save cash until you have 300k. So that you can take advantage of your interest income allowance.
All these tips or steps are very beneficial however the title says from 0 which is kinda misleading because from the first step being saving R10k well, that means you starting from somewhere..
Good Idea to apply the baby steps in a South African context but how can you invest in discretionary investments without first paying your mortgage. As a 33 year old with an investment portfolio with about 70% of it in property I always say pay your primary residence. And if you have knowledge of the property sector in South Africa buy multiple properties via a mortgage as long as you can cover the costs should a tenant default or have enough savings to carry the property. Ramsey would say pay cash but if you buy low and have knowledge into the property market from where to buy, what to pay and you can do your own transfers then you buy low and tenant the kak out of those properties. Within a few years your equity will have increased substantially to the point where you can sell half and pay the others cash if your risk barometer have gone through the roof as you now have all that equity to lose.
Thank you Pieter, this is some great advice. I have been looking for a financial advisor for so long. I’m in deep debt, but I now have a better job to start tackling my debts. I mean I’m talking over 700k in bad debt. On top of everything I was in debt review a few years ago. Which is still flagging on my profile. This will really help. But if anyone reading my comment has a way to help please do.
Credit card needs discipline. It can help you greatly to build your credit score. Ideally use 10% of what you have been provided by the financial institution, if not, use for your groceries and account then transfer the money. Again this needs discipline, if you know that you will provide you with. If you you not discipline, don't apply for credit card to avoid debt that you would be possible be in ❤
Amazing video everyone should see this in South Africa. I have the emergency saving fund and no credit card debit, but always wondered what do I do next. Started investing a bit to early but this helps a lot for the next steps I should take
Thank you so much for this information! I've watched a few similar videos about investment, personal finance etc but as they're always by people from other countries I've always been stuck on how to apply them here so much appreciated.
Clear and really good advise. Life insurance? Where does that fit in…something i couldn’t care about in my 20s but now married with a kid its important.
Hi Pieter thanks for info please share where you teach about finances. If you're born by poor parents its not your fault, but to die poor with knowledge sheared like this it's your fault.❤
We are sleeping on your Content broe....we appreciate the FREE but informative information....Since you said we should not withdraw from our TFSA, I have one with STD bank and you said it not ideal to have one with a bank. So what would be my options?...should I withdraw to an easyequity TFSA?
Thank you Siyabonga. I really appreciate it! Yes to echo what others have commented, please do not withdraw any cash from your bank TFSA and then deposit it in another one. This will be seen as a withdrawal and over contribution which could have severe tax penalties. Instead, email the new provider (e.g. EasyEquities) and tell them you with to transfer your TFSA from STD. They will then send you a document to complete (called a TFSA Transfer Request form) and will take charge of the transfer. All the best with your investment journey :)
In terms of not using your credit card at all, I've heard differing opinions on the pros and cons relating to not getting into debt vs building and maintaining a good credit score? Would be interested in hearing your opinion on the matter.
Ok so before I watch this, here's my real talk thoughts on this. Step 1: Publish a book about making money Step 2: aggressively market said book Step 3: Make money.
I've been hoping someone will "translate" Dave Ramsey's baby steps to make it more applicable for South Africans. Just a question, where would you place your car payment? Is that part of the short term debt?
Nice content very practical steps. There is SA version of the book on Dave Ramsey with Maya Fisher-French. With the new RA’s like Sanlam echo bonus - won’t they offset the costs?
Thanks Keketso, I will definitely check it out! 😀 The bonus at the end seems enticing from a marketing perspective, but if you delve into the numbers it rarely works in the investors favour. These policy based RA’s are frontloaded with high commission and marketing fees which they then recoup from the investor’s contributions. This results in little to no growth for the first couple of years, which, if compounded, can result in massive opportunity costs over the long term. The bonus promised at the end rarely makes up for this opportunity costs. Also, these products are too rigid for my liking. I prefer investments that offer flexibility and not penalties if one needs to change, reduce or stop premiums. Life is unpredictable, and hence I prefer to stick with those that are transparent and easy to understand.🙂
Hey everyone. Just a quick update. The "Coreshares Total World ETF" referred to in this video has been rebranded as the "10X Total World Stock Feeder ETF" on EasyEquities. 😀

Credit card needs discipline. It can help you greatly to build your credit score. Ideally use 10% of what you have been provided by the financial institution, if not, use for your groceries and account then transfer the money.

Dont withdraw, as then it will affect your lifetime contribution. You can request a transfer from STD bank to another provider.
Called doing an Administrative transfer directly between the new TFSA investment provider like EE or etFSA for example.
PS and the bank

You’re a legend!
Hi my EAC on discovery is 2.83 for my retirement annuity is there a way to get out and transfer funds to a better vehicle? Thank you for the education
Ok so before I watch this, here's my real talk thoughts on this.
Step 1: Publish a book about making money
Step 2: aggressively market said book
Step 3: Make money.
I've been hoping someone will "translate" Dave Ramsey's baby steps to make it more applicable for South Africans. Just a question, where would you place your car payment? Is that part of the short term debt?
Thank you so much for this, God bless.
Awesome video. Thanks so much
Nice content very practical steps. There is SA version of the book on Dave Ramsey with Maya Fisher-French. With the new RA’s like Sanlam echo bonus - won’t they offset the costs?
Thanks Keketso, I will definitely check it out! 😀 The bonus at the end seems enticing from a marketing perspective, but if you delve into the numbers it rarely works in the investors favour. These policy based RA’s are frontloaded with high commission and marketing fees which they then recoup from the investor’s contributions. This results in little to no growth for the first couple of years, which, if compounded, can result in massive opportunity costs over the long term. The bonus promised at the end rarely makes up for this opportunity costs. Also, these products are too rigid for my liking. I prefer investments that offer flexibility and not penalties if one needs to change, reduce or stop premiums. Life is unpredictable, and hence I prefer to stick with those that are transparent and easy to understand.🙂
Awesome video bud
Dave Ramsey would be proud
