Lindi Mukhuba, Absa Bank's regional manager, says consumers can save money by joining the employer's pension or provident fund, opening a savings account, investing in unit trusts or joining reputable saving clubs or stokvels.
How to save every month:
l Buy necessities first and luxuries last;
l Write down all purchases to keep track of unnecessary spending;
l Draft a realistic monthly budget and stick to it. Include birthday gifts and increasing petrol prices;
l Make informed decisions on large purchases. Shop around, compare prices and buy the best quality for the lowest price;
l Pay off debts with the highest interest rates first and never borrow money to pay debts;
l Teach your children to save;
l Settle debt as quickly as possible.
