😂Growing up is realising these videos are more worthy than any Netflix shows. I was never an accounting/ financial bunny 🐰 in High School. I literally 😂changed to Science from economics subjects. But after my university graduation this year. I am taking a whole 180 to be informed. We are blessed as a black community to have you in this space. Thank you 🙏.
I won't lie, I used to avoid watching financial videos because I would feel so overwhelmed by the amount of info. Making it my new years resolution to try and sort things out. Thanks for this. So helpful
If you anticipate an emergency to happen, then it ceases to be an emergency, you have to start planning for it; but thanks for the educative and informative video.
Ey Nicolette, we really need to talk about ‘those’ relationships and money hey, personally I make more money when I’m single 🤔🤷🏾♀️ can’t wait to hear your 2021 story
Thank you so much for your videos. My 23 year old son started working last year. He's been listening to you and he introduced you to me. I'm so proud of how he's handling his finances. I'm also working towards comfortable early retirement. Keep doing good work.
Nicolette is a natural teacher, I love how she emphasizes words and they linger in your head. Her articulation keeps you captivated. This is how all teachers should be like ♥♥
You never disappoint me Nicolette... data is very expensive in SA but I never regret watching your videos. With you on my side. I will reach my 100k at the end of this year again... I also really appreciate your book
You look beautiful sisi. I've struggled to accomplish my emergency account dream but I'll do the home loan option starting this month. I think here you also won't be taking from your savings as much as you would with a regular savings account.
I’ve just subscribed🙌🏽. Emergency savings le yona okare e phela ena le di emergency monna! O thiba ka mo go bulega ka mo😭. May 2022 be a better year🙏🏽. Loved this video.
I prefer to keep 90% of my emergency fund in cash at home, that money doesn’t have to grow it just needs to be there when I need it and 10% in a bank account in case I ever need it to get home or something
That’s fine, I can always top up when I need to. If I put my money into an ETF the market can crash at any time too. All the managers are doing is trading contracts with the money in the fund
If your house gets robbed, you might lose that 90%. Keep a big portion like 75% in a money market account (where you gain interest and still preserve your capital) and keep 25% on hand as cash
@@FinancialBunny found myself constantly dipping into saving or using credit for things that were not emergencies (had more month than money often). Drawing up a monthly budget helped a lot, paying off and closing short term credit facilities and separating the savings also helped. I’m now able to plan or cater for unexpected expenses. And other things as you mentioned are not emergencies they can be postponed and planned for, for a future date.
Proper video and sound advice. Please try to change the room next time because the echo kinda disturbs concentration and sound. Lastly, I recommend umjolo for you, baphinde futhi that mjolo side.
Ohk it was very nice to hear a side of you for a 2nd there ngomjolo was waiting for you to go in detail 😂 for the love of indaba. Love your content always learn something from it.
For a couple of months now I have been stressing out about the account and the institution I need to use for my emergency fund savings. Thank you for answering my prayer🤝
Oki doki i will but basically with the access account you can make additional payments over and above your monthly required instalment. if you need the money you can just withdraw it
Nicolette you have no idea how much I needed this it came a perfect time🙏🙏🙏. I shared this video with my financial partner before even watching it. My fiance and I have just accumulated a substantial amount of money in our emergency fund but now the issue is the dilemma of what exactly constitute a financial emergency. And we really don't want to start using it on non emergency needs. This will really help us. Thank you very much for your content 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Nicollete, thank you for the financial videos, I have been listening through most of them and I really appreciate the knowledge share. I quick question I need assistance with, were can I save my 12 months savings to buy a home? any suggestion please.

Thank you very much for this information🔥🙌❤ I messed up my emergency savings because I couldn't tell the difference 🤣🤣🙌💔 You're highly appreciated this side😌
I feel like I've just had my teacher tell me off for doing something wrong lol. Your tone is quite harsh and aggressive but I guess it's because you're passionate. Great video 🙂
Great video. Thanks as always Nicolette! Love the quote "the best sleeping pill on the market." Came across it in your book last year & yeah, l definitely sleep well! For me l use a simple criteria to determine where to keep an emergency fund: 1) Hide it (you can't keep it handy otherwise it will get spent. Everything will become an "emergency" if you always see it e.g if you attach a savings account to your checking account & can see it on your banking app). 2. Keep it liquid i.e easy to get with no penalties. This makes things like 32 day notice accounts, savings bonds, investment accounts not ideal. You don't want to be paying a penalty to withdraw when an emergency arises or cash in on an investment when the market is down! My preference: a Money market account with no penalties & full checking privileges preferably with an Investment Management Company (not a huge fan of bank's money market a/cs). & lastly, I've learnt its best to see an emergency fund for what it is - INSURANCE against rainy days & not a wealth building tool lest one gets bogged down looking for the best interest on the market.
I have mine in a 32 day account and it's been good in terms of me maintaining disclipline and not finding excuses for 'emergencies'. However, I agree that the liquidity can be a challenge especially in the case of an immediate emergency. So what I did was start an additional emergency fund which I call a Rainy Day Fund that has a 7 day notice and the amount is much less than the original emergency fund (and the original is reserved for cases like me losing my job or getting sick and not being able to work.) This may not be a solution for others to have two emergency accounts so I'd advise that for those that struggle with self-discipline, they should lock about 75% of the money in a 32 day account and have about 25% that can be accessed immediately. The percentages are subjective but I hope you get my point.
I was literally about to move my emergency savings into a tax free savings account 2days from now! I'm gonna get the app you talked about instead. Thank you!
Hi Nicollete, lol you categorized "old African bank" on the sort of no-no list. may i ask why? They have amazing interest rates and low fees. I am using them for their fixed account and notice account, is there something I am missing?
Thank you for this video, its been very informative. Could you please make a video that assists young people like me on how to split our salaries as they come in. For example: a portion goes into expenses, another into emergency savings, another in short term savings, another into long term (eg buying a house)..., etc. And perhaps what ratios you would split these into (for example). Im really struggling with this aspect and a fear is skipping something that could come in handy one day. Just something practical that you use on a month to month basis. Its really overwhelming
My suggestion as we wait for her to reply: live on 60% of your net income. So, rent, entertainment, food, etc etc comes from that 60%. Split the 40% like this: 10% emergency, 10% retirement, 10% Charity/Tithe/benovolence, 10% sinking/replacement/savings funds (to replace things that are not emergency like car tyres, go for holiday etc). Once you have 6 months to 1 year emergency fund saveds (1 year because if the unemployment rate in your country is high and it will take you long to get a job if you lost yours you might want more buffer), start investing that 10% that was previously used foremergency fund. Most important thing is to make sure you live on 60% of you income and save/invest the rest. If you are living on more than 60%, you are living above your means.
I would say only 50 % should go towards yo main needs. 30% should go to your investments en savings while the other 20% goes towards your small expenses like airtime, data and other things you want to enjoy yo money on.

If you anticipate an emergency to happen, then it ceases to be an emergency, you have to start planning for it; but thanks for the educative and informative video.
Why aren't we taught this in school??? Your content has been such a great help
Ey Nicolette, we really need to talk about ‘those’ relationships and money hey, personally I make more money when I’m single 🤔🤷🏾♀️ can’t wait to hear your 2021 story

I literally press like even before I really start watching!
Thank you
6 months honey?
I had a 5 year fruitless relationship.
When he ended things, I saved so much money and built my business 🙌 🤣
To God be the glory
Mjolo uyanyisa.
7 years for me LOL
6 years me... 😂
You see what men do to us??? Bashemane 👏🏳️
I think me & you have same experience. indeed God had to intervene by making them to leave
Nicolette is a natural teacher, I love how she emphasizes words and they linger in your head. Her articulation keeps you captivated. This is how all teachers should be like ♥♥
Wish i had found this channel earlier this year, guess better late than sorry. Very informative ❤
Oh Queen, you are still loved in 2022 and thank you for your work.
You are so welcome
Waiting for the mjolo story when you are ready love. Thanks for the first video of 2022.
You never disappoint me Nicolette... data is very expensive in SA but I never regret watching your videos. With you on my side. I will reach my 100k at the end of this year again... I also really appreciate your book
Thank you so much
Sweetheart. I am praying for your heart.
Thank you so much!
You look beautiful sisi. I've struggled to accomplish my emergency account dream but I'll do the home loan option starting this month. I think here you also won't be taking from your savings as much as you would with a regular savings account.
I've been borrowing myself money from my savings and owing a lot
Iyoh ska bua ka mjolo. Triggered. 2021 was hell for me in that department 😩😩😩💔💔💔

Welcome back Nicolette!
Vula I twitter space girl and tell this story ye ndoda 😂😂😂 I want to hear this one 😂 singimathanda I izindaba zabantu
LMAO, Not even worth it
I'm glad i watched this video because i was looking for other ways to invest my money
what can I do without you mara mothowaka😍✊
I love the Olivia Pope analogy. It sobers me up immediately 😄 I've just gone to my online banking and changed the account name to "Olivia Pope".
Looove this comment. I’m stealing this idea 😂😂😂
Listen! I’m doing this too 😂😀
I love it🥰😅
Did it too🤣🤣🤣😂
😂😂😂
I prefer to keep 90% of my emergency fund in cash at home, that money doesn’t have to grow it just needs to be there when I need it and 10% in a bank account in case I ever need it to get home or something
Also it must be topped up at least every 6 months
and inflation?
That’s fine, I can always top up when I need to. If I put my money into an ETF the market can crash at any time too. All the managers are doing is trading contracts with the money in the fund
You don't have to put it into an ETF. Try Tyme bank with a 6% return so you can at least beat inflation
If your house gets robbed, you might lose that 90%. Keep a big portion like 75% in a money market account (where you gain interest and still preserve your capital) and keep 25% on hand as cash
Notification gang.
Happy 2022
Not Everything is an emergency!!! I learned that the hard way (a lot of things can wait actually). And yes separate savings is the way to go.
Absolutely. Please do tell how you learned the lesson of what should and what shouldn't be an emergency
