      You can't compare currencies like that. It's not that simple for one there's the issue of purchasing power and cost of living which differ significantly according to eg city and currency. I'm not discrediting saving but it is not as simple and easy as she makes it. Let us not forget the fact that saving money also costs money eg bank fees and tax. If you are going to give people "advice" tell them the full story. Plus this girl is either lying or she's not telling the full story. A black girl in SA without a degree getting a promotion every few months as well as 100% salary increases each time? Please... That is not the full story!

For the past 3 weeks I have been making $8000 weekly. I succeeded in it, and if you want, you'll be successful, too! It won't hurt me if I share this secret with you. You dont need technical skills to enroll and all you need is to follow outlined guidlines and you will see results in just day.

    My dad taught me a lesson on saving that had my butt hurting. From that I saved most of my life. But then my money got "stolen" at home. So started learning about banks and savings accounts. Then I started working. From 5000 a month and no debt at a young age. I was rich. I was lending money out to my brothers on the regular. I got promoted and everything was great. I bought a car almost cash. But then met a girl got engaged and my whole life got turned upside down. I went from being rich to being 800 000 in debt now and retrenched. I'm currently on a journey to pay off my debt. Fingers crossed this year. The lesson was... don't have kids. don't let your partner pressure you into a lifestyle you don't agree with. Be careful who you let into your life. Cause I'm not really friends with most of my family or friends now.

    It is always good to share tips that changes people's lives. However, I was expecting the specifications on what job you were doing, how did you get promoted in such a short space of time and earned more than 100% of your initial salary. How much petrol we you buying per month while you were still earning a salary of R 5000.00? I take it your video is meant to inspire and motivate others but some of the things you said are unrealistic and lack explanation. You ignore a lot of questions regarding what you were doing and in which company. I am not disputing the possibilities but the pace and how easy you achieved all this raise ethical concerns.

    your idea is good, the problem is that it needs money and lots of luck for South Africans, having your salary multiply by 12 in less that 2 years is highly unlikely, you have to be very lucky despite your work rate and success..... but you are accurate on the idea, it is what i support too. many of our young people earning a few tenths of thousands can become millionaires quickly if they don't all flock to Midrand to rent and chase a certain middle class standard of wasting money.

    I think the problem is people are not patient enough in their journey and succumb to the pressure of what you talked about, which is comparing themselves to the level that their friends are on. A person has to remain self-aware of who they are and their situation by remaining consistent and disciplined to achieve their goal.
