    Congratulations sis 🎉just paid off my personal Loan R60000 with capitec , I’m now completely debt free😭😭 I feel like a weight has been lifted off. It first started with a credit card but I quickly realised that if the money is still available I still end up using it. So I converted it to a loan the interest rate was 24.6% 🤭 these banks are robbing us. But I managed to pay off the loan in 5 months I downgraded my life intensely in order to do this and moved back home. Being debt free is the way to go.

      Capitec personal loan interest rates are crazy. I closed mine last year November. My rate was 27.35% for 275k which was going to take me almost 53 months but I paid it in 24 months or less. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.

      I am also having a loan with capitec at that same rate of 24.6% its realy crazy that interest is way too high, but I am also coming up with plans to pay it off quicker
      Its good when we talk about these things guys

    I also have a credit card that has been revoked, and it's on arrears closer to R60 000 now, I really can't wait to finish it and be debt free. Debts can really be stressful, when you get paid, the next day you already have nothing 😭😭😭

    • @JennNxumalo
      @JennNxumalo  2 года назад +1

      The downside about a credit card is the interest rate because it is debt not attached to an asset. You can make the limit to be an amount that you know you will manage.

    • @JennNxumalo
      @JennNxumalo  2 года назад

      ☺️😂 that’s great, what you are saying is what many of us struggle with. We get into debt and then figure out how to use it. I also would not suggest that you use a credit card to buy a car as it has high interest rate. Always look at your affordability first.

      Any extra money I was getting I put some of it towards saving to pay off my credit card. Also after I paid off my personal loan it freed up R4000 per month which now I could channel to my other debts. It was definitely not a quick process but with time and consistency it was possible.

      Honestly it takes time, give yourself a goal and be specific on when you want to finish it. 3years is a good time to tackle a 3yr debt. When you set a time frame you become more motivated to pay it off and to put extra even when you get extra income you will be more inclined to put it towards your debt. You can do it.
