😂Growing up is realising these videos are more worthy than any Netflix shows. I was never an accounting/ financial bunny 🐰 in High School. I literally 😂changed to Science from economics subjects. But after my university graduation this year. I am taking a whole 180 to be informed. We are blessed as a black community to have you in this space. Thank you 🙏.
I won't lie, I used to avoid watching financial videos because I would feel so overwhelmed by the amount of info. Making it my new years resolution to try and sort things out. Thanks for this. So helpful
Love that! we are a community here and happy to be here for you
Same!!
@phuti masoga, same here. Guilt was killing me.
@phuti masoga Please read my book so you know HOW Many mistakes I have made and still making
Me too
Ey Nicolette, we really need to talk about ‘those’ relationships and money hey, personally I make more money when I’m single 🤔🤷🏾♀️ can’t wait to hear your 2021 story
6 months honey?
I had a 5 year fruitless relationship.
When he ended things, I saved so much money and built my business 🙌 🤣
To God be the glory
Mjolo uyanyisa.
7 years for me LOL
6 years me... 😂
You see what men do to us??? Bashemane 👏🏳️
I think me & you have same experience. indeed God had to intervene by making them to leave
If you anticipate an emergency to happen, then it ceases to be an emergency, you have to start planning for it; but thanks for the educative and informative video.
Thank you so much for your videos. My 23 year old son started working last year. He's been listening to you and he introduced you to me. I'm so proud of how he's handling his finances. I'm also working towards comfortable early retirement. Keep doing good work.
Why aren't we taught this in school??? Your content has been such a great help
Nicolette is a natural teacher, I love how she emphasizes words and they linger in your head. Her articulation keeps you captivated. This is how all teachers should be like ♥♥
I am the first one.yes💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻its 2022 ,I am still here.
...and I appreciate you kindly
I literally press like even before I really start watching!
Thank you
Wish i had found this channel earlier this year, guess better late than sorry. Very informative ❤
You never disappoint me Nicolette... data is very expensive in SA but I never regret watching your videos. With you on my side. I will reach my 100k at the end of this year again... I also really appreciate your book
Thank you so much
Not Everything is an emergency!!! I learned that the hard way (a lot of things can wait actually). And yes separate savings is the way to go.
Absolutely. Please do tell how you learned the lesson of what should and what shouldn't be an emergency
@@FinancialBunny found myself constantly dipping into saving or using credit for things that were not emergencies (had more month than money often).
Drawing up a monthly budget helped a lot, paying off and closing short term credit facilities and separating the savings also helped. I’m now able to plan or cater for unexpected expenses. And other things as you mentioned are not emergencies they can be postponed and planned for, for a future date.
@@FinancialBunny Also your channel has been very helpful in my journey to having healthy financial habits.
@@PalesaS17 me too all the way from Namibia 🇳🇦💕
Oh Queen, you are still loved in 2022 and thank you for your work.
You are so welcome
I love the Olivia Pope analogy. It sobers me up immediately 😄 I've just gone to my online banking and changed the account name to "Olivia Pope".

You look beautiful sisi. I've struggled to accomplish my emergency account dream but I'll do the home loan option starting this month. I think here you also won't be taking from your savings as much as you would with a regular savings account.
Waiting for the mjolo story when you are ready love. Thanks for the first video of 2022.

welcome back, you are looking good. 🙌
Thank you so much for this information 🙏 God bless you.
Great video. Thanks as always Nicolette! Love the quote "the best sleeping pill on the market." Came across it in your book last year & yeah, l definitely sleep well! For me l use a simple criteria to determine where to keep an emergency fund:
1) Hide it (you can't keep it handy otherwise it will get spent. Everything will become an "emergency" if you always see it e.g if you attach a savings account to your checking account & can see it on your banking app).
2. Keep it liquid i.e easy to get with no penalties. This makes things like 32 day notice accounts, savings bonds, investment accounts not ideal. You don't want to be paying a penalty to withdraw when an emergency arises or cash in on an investment when the market is down!
My preference: a Money market account with no penalties & full checking privileges preferably with an Investment Management Company (not a huge fan of bank's money market a/cs).
& lastly, I've learnt its best to see an emergency fund for what it is - INSURANCE against rainy days & not a wealth building tool lest one gets bogged down looking for the best interest on the market.
I have mine in a 32 day account and it's been good in terms of me maintaining disclipline and not finding excuses for 'emergencies'. However, I agree that the liquidity can be a challenge especially in the case of an immediate emergency. So what I did was start an additional emergency fund which I call a Rainy Day Fund that has a 7 day notice and the amount is much less than the original emergency fund (and the original is reserved for cases like me losing my job or getting sick and not being able to work.) This may not be a solution for others to have two emergency accounts so I'd advise that for those that struggle with self-discipline, they should lock about 75% of the money in a 32 day account and have about 25% that can be accessed immediately. The percentages are subjective but I hope you get my point.
@@molebogengm7456 Wow that's a really great approach! I love how personal finance is just that...Personal!
I prefer to keep 90% of my emergency fund in cash at home, that money doesn’t have to grow it just needs to be there when I need it and 10% in a bank account in case I ever need it to get home or something
Also it must be topped up at least every 6 months
and inflation?
That’s fine, I can always top up when I need to. If I put my money into an ETF the market can crash at any time too. All the managers are doing is trading contracts with the money in the fund
You don't have to put it into an ETF. Try Tyme bank with a 6% return so you can at least beat inflation
If your house gets robbed, you might lose that 90%. Keep a big portion like 75% in a money market account (where you gain interest and still preserve your capital) and keep 25% on hand as cash

You're the best!
U the BEST. Keep shinning
Nicolette you have no idea how much I needed this it came a perfect time🙏🙏🙏.
I shared this video with my financial partner before even watching it. My fiance and I have just accumulated a substantial amount of money in our emergency fund but now the issue is the dilemma of what exactly constitute a financial emergency. And we really don't want to start using it on non emergency needs. This will really help us. Thank you very much for your content 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Very informative ❤
I needed this.
Compliments of the new year Nicolette!
