Welcome to the Santam Insure Your Future Money Bootcamp with Maya Fisher-French and Mapalo Makhu. This series is designed to guide you through essential financial topics, helping you make informed decisions for a secure future. Last episode we focused on saving for shorter-term goals, but what about those medium to longer-term goals like your child's tertiary education in ten years or time, or leaving your child a legacy? Maybe you want to start your own business one day? How do you start? The episode begins with the importance of setting clear and achievable financial goals, providing a practical example of calculating future education costs, illustrating how inflation can significantly impact the amount you need to save. One of the key takeaways is the distinction between interest and growth. While interest is a guaranteed return from a bank, growth involves investing in assets that increase in value over time. They highlight the benefits of investing in unit trusts and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as effective ways to achieve capital growth. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the advantages of tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs). Introduced in 2015, TFSAs offer a tax-efficient way to save and invest. Maya and Mapalo explain how TFSAs can be used for various financial goals, including saving for your child's education and supplementing your retirement fund. They stress the importance of viewing TFSAs as long-term investment vehicles rather than regular savings accounts. The hosts also explore the opportunities and benefits of investing offshore. They discuss how local funds can invest on your behalf overseas, providing exposure to global markets. For those looking to build assets outside South Africa, they recommend starting with local companies that offer offshore investment products. Maya and Mapalo caution against the use of endowment products for education savings. They argue that these products often come with high fees and tax implications that may not be beneficial for most investors. Instead, they advocate for simple, low-cost investment options like TFSAs and unit trusts. Join Maya and Mapalo for an enlightening discussion that will help you secure your financial future.

Welcome to the Santam Insure Your Future Money Bootcamp with Maya Fisher-French and Mapalo Makhu. In previous episodes we have focused on budgeting and living within your means, but at some stage everyone will need to access credit. But how do you do that in a responsible and sustainable manner? We begin with a cautionary tale from Thato, one of our mentees, who illustrates how easily consumer debt can accumulate. From small loans and credit cards to store accounts, many find themselves in financial turmoil without realising how they got there. Thato's story serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding the true cost of debt and making informed decisions. We explore the concept of good versus bad debt, providing practical examples such as using a loan for education or a car versus funding a lifestyle you can't afford. Maya and Mapalo discuss the emotional aspects tied to borrowing and how to avoid the pitfalls of succumbing to tempting offers from banks and credit providers. We also delve into the mechanics of credit cards, the myths surrounding the interest-free period, and the importance of paying off your balance in full each month. Mapalo shares a poignant story of a client who fell into the trap of using credit to fit in socially, highlighting the emotional triggers that can lead to poor financial decisions. For those looking to build a credit record responsibly, we offer actionable advice on how to do so without falling into debt. From setting realistic credit limits to understanding the impact of your banking behaviour on your credit score, we cover all the bases. We wrap up with a discussion on car finance, including the dangers of balloon payments and the long-term financial commitment they entail. Maya shares insights from her experience on how to negotiate better terms and avoid unnecessary fees, ensuring you make the most financially sound decision possible. Join us for this comprehensive guide to borrowing wisely, and don't forget to complete the credit agreement worksheet available in this link. Your journey to financial freedom starts with understanding and managing your debt effectively.

With real-life anecdotes and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to gain financial clarity and peace of mind. Listeners will hear from Thato, who shares how her anxiety around money diminished once she created a budget, and the story of Pam, who discovered she had more money than she realised once she started tracking her expenses. The episode also features a conversation with Sbongile, a mentee from last year's cohort, who transformed her financial habits and mindset through budgeting.

Charlie Kirk goes on the George Janko show and shares how he came to faith in Jesus and the most effective way to share the gospel. While I agree with Charlie to an extent it's just too narrow of an understanding of evangelism. We also watch a clip of content creator, Mapalo who is praying over Christians all while the Seattle Pride parade is going on. I share how we should share prophetic utterances with wisdom, and humility, and the steps needed to grow in this gift.
The gang discusses two papers that deal with the evolution of tardigrades. The first paper looks at some fossil tardigrades in amber, and the second paper looks to the Cambrian to determine the ancestors of modern tardigrades. Meanwhile, Amanda confuses some details about medication, James has some money making crab solutions, and Curt is somehow the one person trying to keep people on track. Up-Goer Five (Curt Edition): The friends look at two papers that look at a group of animals that are very very very small and have been seen as cute by a lot of people even though you can not really see them without help. The first paper finds some of these very very small animals in bits that come out of things that grow big and make their own food. These bits get hard when they get covered in ground over a long time and things that get stuck in the stuff can be there. This paper looks at these old very very small animals and tries to see what they could be like. It also talks about how we might not have as good an idea of these animals because they are so small and we do not always look for small things in these kinds of places. The second paper looks at the older things that might be great great great great mom and dad to the tiny animals today. These animals are much bigger and much much older. This paper shows that lots of things we see in these tiny animals today may have been parts that we see in these older animals. But also, that in order to get so very very very small, these animals may have lost some parts so that they could get that small. References: Kihm, Ji-Hoon, et al.

We travel to Zambia to meet Mapalo, who tells her story of growing up in the U.S. and then moving to her family's native Zambia in her teenage years. Now, having adapted to the reverse culture shock, she is busy finishing her studies and building a business that offers digitization services to a burgeoning economy. Not only is it ripe with opportunity, but it may just be a multipotentialite's dream. ;) The post From Zambia via The Puttyverse with Mapalo – The MultiPod 097 appeared first on The Puttyverse.
