I swear there was one by @FiestaST when I woke up this morning, but now it's gone.

Anyway, here are some of them:

1. You don't need all the streaming services all the time. Rotate them, if family has a problem with that they can pay or do chores for them (so maybe need the maid, if you have one, a day less, thus saving more).

2. Cut out leeches. Those people (especially non related ones) always borrowing money, never to be paid back, learn to say no.

3. Budget. Know what you are spending money on. Maybe that coffee that you buy for R20 each work day morning (I'm not sure of prices, I do not buy that, so thumbsucked price), that's R440 a month and multiple thousands a year. Maybe make that coffee at home, or use the free stuff at work. And if you have noticed the price of fast food, it's way up, cut that down to a once a week treat.
 
Torrents, and Checkers not Woolies.

Filled up tank today.. R 1472…!!!
 
Okay so what happened? Saving it for a Friday thread?

I said no, lol. To a leech always asking small amounts here and there, and to a person that might have eventually paid it back a few months from now (a few thousand R). Which was good, since I then had a medical event with decent expenses the very next day,

This is a very difficult topic for Millennials to understand, as you may have noticed, the vast majority don't wear belts. They never got hidings with them either, sadly the only use that they have for them is erotic asphyxiation.
