Building Emergency Funds That Actually Work
Most people know they need an emergency fund. But where do you keep it? How much is enough? We'll walk through the numbers based on typical South African household expenses, not American textbook examples.
Our webinar series brings you practical savings strategies grounded in real South African financial contexts. We skip the theory-heavy lectures and focus on what actually works when you're managing rands and cents in today's economy.
Each session runs about 90 minutes. You'll get specific examples, not abstract concepts. And yes, there's always time for your questions at the end.
We run these throughout the year. Sessions fill up quickly because we keep groups small—around 25 people per webinar. That way, everyone can participate without getting lost in the crowd.

Tax-free savings accounts, retirement annuities, and other incentives can reduce what you owe SARS while building wealth. We'll break down which options fit different income levels and life stages without overwhelming jargon.
Freelancers, commission earners, and small business owners face unique challenges when income fluctuates month to month. This session covers budgeting systems that adapt to variable cash flow rather than fighting against it.
Once you've built some savings, what comes next? We'll demystify unit trusts, ETFs, and other investment vehicles available to South Africans. No pressure to buy anything—just straight information about how these tools work.
We built this series because too many financial education programs either talk down to people or float in theoretical clouds. Our approach is straightforward—share what we've learned working with South African families and businesses, answer your questions honestly, and skip the sales pitch.
These aren't recorded lectures where you passively watch someone's screen. We encourage questions throughout, and participants often share their own experiences. The best insights sometimes come from other attendees.
When we talk about budgeting, we use actual costs for groceries, petrol, and utilities in Gauteng, Western Cape, and other provinces. When we discuss savings goals, we reference real life stages that South Africans face.
Past participants stay connected through a simple online group where people share wins, ask follow-up questions, and support each other's progress. Financial stress feels lighter when you realize others face similar challenges.
Spaces fill several weeks before each session date. If you're interested in joining, reach out and let us know which topic speaks to your current needs. We'll send session details and answer any questions you have about the format.
