      @YvonneFreely  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Glad it’s helpful! On HYSA’s, I’d consider any savings account that gives a higher than inflation interest rate, I’d go for any savings/bank ‘investment’ account with an interest rate of > 6.5%. For a quick check ratecompare.co.za helps 🤗.

    Do you think it's possible to save R1M in 3 months?

    • @YvonneFreely
      @YvonneFreely  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi! I don’t know your personal finances so I can only give my opinion here. Saving R1m in 3 months is unrealistic and will be quite challenging to achieve especially in this economy for the average person. I’d suggest a much smaller, realistic goal.
      To be honest, if you are able to save R1m ($54.7k) in just 3 months (after your life expenses) then you are doing pretty great and should be focusing on investing for your future. What do you think?

    Oh interesting . At the moment I spend more than I earn and I used all my overdraft. Trying to get back on track create a budget and being using it for the second month. Just need to find a way to pay back my overdraft but will have to be in small amounts and long term.🙈

    • @YvonneFreely
      @YvonneFreely  23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Hey 👋🏾 I understand your circumstances and I just want you to know that it’ll get better. You will pay off the overdraft, and get back on track. First step is to create a budget and try to stick to it, here’s the one I use: www.yvonnefreely.com/simple-money-business-tools. Second step is to see ways to reduce/optimise your expenses, then the last step is to identify ways to increase your income - there’s a cap to how much you can save so you have to look for ways to supplement your income through side hustles (that could perhaps turn into businesses). Check out my video on 9 streams of income that I posted before this one. All the very best! 🤗

    Sorry folks basic living expenses take most savings.. and many lower income folks may not be able to generate extra income.. some rents are over a $1000 now so how can you save in 5-6 months it’s not logical after a pandemic.. let’s get real folks..:.. it took me 12 months to save $1000 without spending and I put it in a high yield savings account….

    • @YvonneFreely
      @YvonneFreely  22 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      I hear you, saving is challenging especially in this economic environment. However, I still think this can still work even for people on a low 9-5 income, if you set up side hustles, negotiate for a raise, etc. I say this because there’s a cap to how much we can save, at some point we have to start increasing our income to meet our financial goals. What do you think?

      Even if you just start with a $1 and build upon it over time consistently you can get there. It’s starting. You can even start with 50 cents. So it’s definitely possible but people don’t believe they can.

    To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?
