It's FINALLY payday weekend! I'm sure that most of us are trying to save as much as we can, while stretching our funds as much as possible. A popular way to do it is to sign up for a rewards program. But what are loyalty/ rewards programs ? What are the best rewards programs ? Who are the best rewards partners ?  Also, are you missing out on R250 million worth of unclaimed rewards points ???

Fam, what we think of ourselves & what our values are will reflect in our bank accounts. Hence, the intro includes “the way we think ultimately affects our financial decisions.” But, how much value, if any, do we attach to our hair? Are we more concerned about what’s on our heads than what’s in our heads? Also, does that down payment at your local salon guarantee that future opportunities will be coming your way?  Join Joy where she chats about  

  

a)     Backdoor salons & underground barbers

b)     Apartheid’s Pencil Test: A Classification based on hair textures.

c)     Pretty Privilege & Hair Privilege 

d)     Date My Family & Girlfriend Allowances

e)     Beauty Benchmarks

f)      Her personal hair journey

Fam, with last week’s interest rate hike, have you ever thought about how one can build a credit score in this economic climate? Why do you need a credit score? Which factors should one consider before applying for credit? Which signs serve as an indication of you not managing your credit well? Are there any pros & cons of using a clothing store account vs a credit card when building one’s credit score?

Most people think that more money will solve all their problems, but that was clearly not the case for those on Mzansi Magic’s hit show “I blew it”. Fam, the way the people, who received millions of Rands, spent and lost all of it? Madness! Pure spending madness!

Join Joy where she chats about how they spent and lost all of it, spending habits (men vs women), the lessons learned from the show, how looking rich can cause a drought in your bank account and how what they’ve valued and deemed as success cost them in the end.

Does your current job make you feel like you're always at irritation station ? Is the work that you do, bland & tasteless, not challenging you in any way ? Thinking of changing jobs?  Moving to a different division or even into a new industry?

All of us were born with gifts and talents. Your list of skills could land you your next opportunity. Join Joy where she chats about how you can identify transferable skills, unique skills you don’t know you have and where she thinks the implementation of the school curriculum went wrong.

Fam, it’s more exciting and fun when you look back at your goals and you smashed them. On the other hand, I know you want to avoid it all together when you know that you're no way near reaching the first milestone, let alone reaching it. Trust me, I’m speaking from my own experience. Do we go back, after a few months, and review our New Year’s resolutions? What if progress didn’t come in the package, we expected it to come in? Would we still welcome it with open arms?  How important is it to have a vision and accountability partners? 

Join Joy where she chats about her views and experiences when it comes to reflecting on the first few months of 2023.
