For Capitec service consultant, Bongiwe Ngubane from Pinetown, learning the basics of money management through the Live Better Academy has changed her life forever.
Bongiwe shares how she practically applied what she learnt through the Live Better Academy. “Everything is so simplified that you’ll see that your dreams are possible if you just follow the principles”. Through the modules, Bongiwe was inspired to make small changes that have positively added up. “Every day that I don’t buy lunch, I take that money that I would’ve spent and transfer it into paying my debt. I’m also buying more shares, I’m saving towards my kids’ future, and I’m also saving for that dream vacation I’ve always wanted to go on”.
