    i used to be addicted to buying perfumes am talking of edgars truworths skins cosmetics designer colognes r2000 or more each bottle but trust me whole year 2022 i never bought even one bottle!!! it starts in the mind!! I bought a brand new mercedes benz c180 latest model in 2015 and paid r7500 a month to wesbank and i paid it off in 2021 and i was so so so tempted to upgrade and get a 2022 merc. Trust me I said no!!!! whole 2022 I didnt have a car instalment I just pay R1800 insurance and r300 tracker and fuel. I REFUSE TO GO GET ANOTHER CAR INSTALLMENT!! So its very very possible to slow down on your spending and be disciplined enough to say no!!!

    I don't know how I bumped into your channel but I love it. I am very disciplined with money. Maybe I do give in to my instant gratification sometimes, especially when I go to the shops. So I go there when it's a need and I hardly do online shopping. Trying to get my partner to be as disciplined as I am, pay his debt, invest and save.

    I am so committed to pay off my home loan this year. My goal was to finish it end August but have decided to sacrifice my bonus in March and pay it off. Thank you Jen for all your videos. I want to have my financial freedom back. I have been paying 3 big debts concurrently. Its been a long journey but I am proud of myself that the biggest debt is coming to an end .

      @@JennNxumalo I know that you dont give financial advice however we are now family here. So as previously said that I would like to pay off my Home Loan account in March I am a bit confused now whether I should pay it off as many personal finance gurus recommend to pay off all other debts except Home Loan because of the interest rate that is low. However in my case I owe less than R30k on my bond and less than R60k on my VAF. So which one you think I should tackle?
      If I pay off my Homeloan I will be able to release about R6k as I would still be paying for Home Owners Insurance of about R600. That R6k is what I wanted to channel to my emergency savings that I have started already.
      Your recommendation please?

      This is insightful and iam glad that I've come to the right place at the right time. I just joined the family two days ago after being scammed for investing in the ponzi scheme. Yooh Jehova what was I doing? 😭😭 Iam now gone to square one🙆‍♀️! My goal for this year is to work towards clearing my debts. I struggling to sleep at night because iam longing for a financial freedom so bad. Believe me when I say iam emotionally exhausted. It's time to be intentional. It's time to be self disciplined. It's time to focus. Come rain or sunshine, by the end of this year two of my debts must be out of my way. 🤞🏼🤞🏼Iam getting myself a bulleted journal. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH😢😡

    I like what you said about investing. If you wait until you have “more or enough” money, you will never start
    I think about when I started investing and it was small money but now it has built up to a lot of money and had I not started then I wouldn’t have been here right now
    That’s why I love the “start early narrative” because it doesn’t speak about numbers but actions and being dedicated and disciplined to actually put something towards your future❤

    • @JennNxumalo
      @JennNxumalo  2 года назад +1

    "You need to invision what your life is going to look like and work towards that." This resonated with me so much. I don't have a lot of debt, and I've gotten to a point of being disciplined when it comes to saving, but I still spend compulsively on things I don't need 😔
    I really want to invest more this year and not just make it an afterthought. And be as disciplined about how I manage my finances.

      It normally takes 5 working days or less. Please drop them a DM on instagram the respond. On the App on the icons on the bottom one of them does show when there is a pending deposit. I am not sure which one it is but click all of them, one of them should show you the pending deposit.
