About

Taking charge of your money has nothing to do with how much money you have; but rather how and where you spend it. Are you in charge or is your partner, spouse or habits in charge? Do you feel like money simply flows out of your account, or are you in control of what is spent and where?

Budget, save, invest and make wise money decisions!

Personal Finance and money matters from South Africa.
