  • Which is the best savings account in SA currently (2019) and are all savings account the same? are we really comparing apples to apples?
    Which is the best savings account in South Africa
    Please note that the nominal interest rate does not mean that the bank will subtract that money, that you have gained in interest. It means that the interest rate is not adjusted to meet up with inflation. Example if a bank promises you 7% annual nominal interest rate it means that you still need to subtract inflation to realize the actual growth of your money. So say for instance the inflation rate of 2019 is 5% and you are offered 7% annual nominal rate it means that you’re money actually grows by 2%. This is because the value of money is eroded to the percentage of inflation, so if a bank gives you 5% and inflation is at 5% all you have really done is preserve the value of your money and you have not grown it.

    I have saved 40k since last year, I earn as little as R7500 a month I live way below my means. Every month I make sure to save R5000 and I started selling Avon which I've just started earning a substantial amount and all thanks to Nicolette 💖. The next time I comment on your post I would have started my own business.

      It's a business you need to join for extra cash.
      You buy s perfume for R130 n sell for R200 if you sell 5 a week that would get you R350 n R1400 a month. I will have R11200 in October 😍 thank you Nic
      I watch these videos n I am unemployed but I put aside R400 a week😀
      To join call the head office or reply here I can assist.

      @@yolandakhumalo Hey girl, I guess I've managed to save so much because I have a goal, I would like to buy a car and start a business, I look at my business plan all the time and I also have a picture of the car I would like to buy that alone encourages me to save but most importantly I live way below my means. Like the most important thing for me is tithe and to giving money at home. Sometimes you just have to loose a little bit on the fun side( going out and all) for a greater goal/ purpose.

    As someone thinking of moving to SA from the UK this is one of my favourite videos you've done. Would you ever consider making text/graphical overlays or your videos to make it easier to follow lists like your saving account recommendations or even to put the list down in the comment section, which I guess would be much easier for you. Amazing again!

I Started from as young as 10 years old with my piggy bank, and once I started getting an allowance I saved each month since 2013 (With Old Mutual) however i still feel like my money is not growing.. The lady promised I would be able to buy a car as soon as I'm done with varsity, or place a deposit on property :(... I've completed my studies and still looking for a job.. I've been nervous about whats gonna happen when I start making big bucks (coz thats going to happen for sure;)) and this video and all the others I've been binging on have saved my life.. I will continue to save, However this time I will save MUCH WISER!! DANKIE FITNESS BUNNY!! DANKIE MAHMI :)

I ended being the one who saved them R75. Thanks, Nicolette for letting me understand what a nominal rate is. Thixo wase George Kog, kudala sidliwa ngenxa yokuswela ulwazi...lol
