Yep that's the worst part of it all. Investments aren't growing as much as just popping your money into a Fixed Deposit accountIn actual savings (excl anything remotely 'investment') I'm at R42 147.89 . Have not been historically good at keeping easily accessible funs, so I'm pretty proud of getting that far!
The 7% interest is outperforming my actual investments, which has a bit of an ironic bite to it.
Or bond if you have thatYep that's the worst part of it all. Investments aren't growing as much as just popping your money into a Fixed Deposit account![]()

Living on basic needs isn't going to make anyone happy, though.Based on my bank balance...? There are people with way more that are significantly less happy than I am, and people with way less that are significantly more happy than I am. Once you have enough money to cover your basic needs and remove the stress of worrying about the next couple of months' expenses, it sort of loses its meaning in the short term.

Issue is I'm greedy if I'm being honest I don't know how people are content with what they have in terms of finance etcBased on my bank balance...?

I like this philosophy. Trying to get my SO to like it too lol.I have started following some of what the minimalists (google them you will find a lot of info) say the last year or so.
I have stopped my pursuit for more STUFF and for the most part useless stuff. There is nothing wrong with buying something, as long as it truly adds value to your life. Also you shouldn't be buying anything on debt (house not included - not getting into car conversation) if you are buying a TV on credit you shouldn't be doing it. Don't care if you can afford the installment in reality you are impatient and your impatience will cost you interest.
I am a happier person not constantly chasing after the latest fad/technology/car and my bank balance reflects this very nicely.
