Last week, I wrote about the importance of teaching kids the value of money. Naturally, it got me thinking about my financial journey and how I started saving. Like most kids, I had a piggy bank stuffed full of bronze coins. When it came time to count it, I was bitterly disappointed.
All that time, all that patience – and for what? A measly pittance. Perhaps this example can be used to illustrate wealth building as an adult. Aside from other important factors (which I’ll cover in a moment), many people my age think that as long as they have a savings account, they’ll be fine. Well on their way to a comfortable life and cushy retirement.
Beware of the grey areas with your retirement

It’s no secret that South Africa is a deeply unequal society. It’s evident in our everyday lives. Take our healthcare system, for example. Those who can afford it are lucky enough to be treated in a state-of-the-art hospital if (God forbid) something terrible had to happen to them. The majority of the country, however, have to queue endlessly for medication – or wait months on end for simple procedures.

Perhaps I’m just easily irritated, but there are a number of things that really drive me up the wall. People who walk next to each other on the pavement, for example. People who walk and text in public, oblivious to the fact that there are people behind them trying to get by.
What about people that stare at their phones while you talk to them? Nothing frustrates me more than having to repeat myself because someone was engrossed in their screen. On the road, I like to think of myself as a calm driver – but it’s hard to not get irritated driving in Cape Town. Put the most peaceful man you can find on the N2 for five minutes and he will return in a blur of rage and anger.
Emerging markets hold promise for investors in 2021
By Rocco van Zyl
At the start of 2020 developed markets had delivered the best investment returns for a decade, with US stocks in leading the charge, with both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ soaring to record highs. However, going into February not even the smartest commentators predicted the arrival of Covid-19, and the subsequent market crash that followed in its wake.

Although world markets had been through stock market crashes before, this one was unique in the sense that countries around the world were hit by a global pandemic, with governments having very little knowledge about the virus and how to curb it. The future of the global economy was initially fogged, as it was widely believed that the world would only start getting back to normal once an effective vaccine was produced and readily available to citizens everywhere.
