Show notes

Gugs Mhlungu speaks with Paul Roelofse, resident Certified Financial Planner, outlining the difference between nominal take-home pay and real take-home salary, and how inflation and rising fuel costs mean that many South Africans are effectively earning the same or even less despite small salary increases. He also shares practical tips on how to better manage daily expenses and stay mindful of what you can realistically afford in today’s economy.
