Are you Salary RICH or a Salary away from Debt?

[@Ubepati]

Thank you for talking about it!! My mother has been pressuring me to buy a car because i can afford it. But i actually want to find a way to make extra money before i buy a car. I am salary rich bcoz 50% of my income covers all the expenses but i know that if i were to buy a car or move to the city my disposable income will decrease dramatically and i will get caught in the cycle of not feeling like i make enough!!! Hopefully by december i can get my idea started!!!

[@TSZee]

Well done for resisting the pressure. When the time comes, you can also explore buying a used car which is in good condition or buying from an auction

[@yahboycodi]

I definitely got duped by the "Salary Rich" phase and I have been feeling the pressure since my expenses have gone up. I definitely learned from this video and see the need to unlearn unhealthy budgetless spending habits. 🙏🏾

[@yeboyes5493]

I've been learning this on how to manage my money, 1. I cut my parents out from black tax and told them I shouldn't be their financial scapegoat from their debt orders they must find their own way to pay them off, 2 buying everything cash I need that I won't have to buy again in the next five years, 3 I'll start saving money proper next year but now I've given myself a timeline to buy everything cash from furniture to cellphone and my only debt should be my apartment.

[@enockmalahlela3271]

Brilliant one, you tackled silent problems this time👏🏾👏🏾

[@unathikave548]

I was thinking about a car the other day and I said no since I made the decision last year to take a bond. Even though I have an excess of R4000 monthly I still need to factor petrol and maintenance. So it doesn'take sense to me. So I would rather pay my debts first and save towards the deposit of a car. And it won't be a new car.

[@matlhatsisehole9262]

Me and you are in the same boat, I want a car but really its not much of a need considering that I might not have any money left plus I have a son so I might not be able to cover unexpected costs

[@feezthedeal6704]

Same boat passenger here, I decided to build,now Im saving for a car, and it will be second hand and most likely to be cash too. I want my salary to BREATH so it can do well in life...

Budgeting for week 🤣This is so true

[@IreneThomas]

Thanks Nicolette, cheers to saving and investing🍻. Been watching your videos ever since 2019 (before I had a proper job) so when I got a proper job I already had my priorities in order regarding my finances thanks to you. You’re the best. 💪🏽😅 Edit: Hi Nicolette, just finished reading your book and wow, I am amazed. Thank you once again. By the way, may you please make a video explaining how the FNB global account works?

[@kabelomailula7437]

The 1 week vs 3 weeks budget and the credit card coming out to cover the 3 weeks HIT HARD. Lesson: Budget for every week.

[@danielngada8225]

I will thank you in 2 years time. You are the reason I have started drafting a budget. Never before have I had a great mentor like this. I am going to pay myself for the first time in 2 weeks time. I will start with R1000. I will be judged as saving for grooving, but my statement report will be my witness later on. Thank you sis'Nicolette 😊

[@scelondlovu3518]

Three weeks, You are 100% right. I'm still working on cutting out wants on my salary

[@lifeofdifferenceld7484]

Tjooooo Nicolette this was both Chastising and even Teaching Thank you. I love the practice of " Do a Weekly Stipend Budget" New One to me Thank you and Good Morning of these Teachings thougb Biiter to swallow.

[@potentialsomebody2615]

When your initial payout of R1000 turns to R4's worth . . . Your worth is determined by your choices necessities of compensation for lack of privileges being excessive expenses - self awareness is key . . . 💐

[@goldentapfumachimusinde232]

You are well informed and You are changing my life everyday. Thank You

[@prudenceradingoana2155]

Thanks Nicolett , I think I was able to save when I was an intern. N I can relate with the salary rich.

[@bontlemaine3107]

Lol I heard you saying that "an idling money is used money" and took everything to my emergency account after paying myself first of course. This video just made my to realize why sometimes I run back to the "emergency account" (which I become smart with it though. I am my own mashonisa. Should I take money out from that emergency account, I return it with an interest 😂) so I run back to the emergency account because I never think of the remaining three weeks before pay day. Damn! 🙆🏻‍♀️ Budget strategy needs to change. As always, thank you Nicolette for the insight 🤭💐

[@olgatalksmotlhabane8206]

The budgeting for 3 weeks thing was also an eye opener for me😱 Because I would do what you said you've been doing 😓I quickly need to unlearn that ‼️

[@ithabelengsbee5463]

I have a buffer under the needs part in my budget. Money to spend during the 3 weeks if I need to. If it’s still available on the next payday it goes into my emergency savings. It really helps a lot.

[@matsobanemosehla29]

You nailed it my sister. Thank you a lot for putting this out nicely.

[@williammhlongo1502]

So true and this ignorance i've experienced and close to retirement with no savings hope one starts young.

I had 5000 that I was so flexible with to spent everymonth, but now I bought a car for 4500incl insurance. Now I don't have anymore the money to carry me for a month till I get paid.

Would you recommend someone to pay off the baloon payment earlier (3 years b4 paying off the car) for example if you have some money saved enough to pay off the baloon

[@khanyibango4098]

This is a great question

[@preciousprecious7581]

Hi cc definitely consider that especially if you planning to keep your car and not trade in, I had all six years to plan what to do with balloon payment but didn't now iam done with installment n have to re-finance balloon which will come with interest and probably another 12months to pay. If you can afford you can also ask them to do a quote and spread the balloon amount to the remaining installments

[@rieyaaznarodien3764]

I don't think its wise for you to encourage putting large deposits down on cars if you consider that it is a loss in your accumulated income and that a car is depreciating. Better appropriation of this rule may be to put a large deposit into a property because that way the money isn't lost. Just a thought.

[@Ubepati]

Not everyone is into property and not everyone is going to buy property some have already built their own homes. Also a deposit helps to lower your monthly installments which is the point to lower your debts.
