    In terms of what to choose in the ETFs, I find that if u pick S&P500s, MSCI Worlds, Nasdaq 100 & FTSE100 u will win. These ones grow by double digit % within a short space of time. The SA top 40 does grow but at a snails pace.

      R36 000 per annum(tax year). Will take around 13 years 8 months to reach R500 000 lifetime limit. If you pay in more than 500 000 then you also get charged 40% same as the yearly limit

      I am 56 and will try pay r36000 every tax year. I will reach my lifetime limit around 69. So it can be done. But pay as much as you can but not more than the limits. If you withdraw you can not add more to top up. Say you pay r36k and withdraw r10k you cannot pay r10k in, as limit has already been reached

    My life changed too when I started doing this and putting money in stocks. The first few years it as really great, but this year I haven't felt like my portfolio is doing well. I have lost more than $40,000 from my portfolio the past four months, and it's now very worrisome.

      The year has been really rough for everybody. But I've been able to cushion the effect though. Have you thought of using an investment advisor? They can make you good money especially during uncertain times like this.

    • @AbigailOliviaq4l
      @AbigailOliviaq4l 4 місяці тому

      Yes, I agree. I use a financial advisor too. Same person since 2020. I don't worry about whether the economy is going up or down or sideways. I always ride through.

    Thank you for the awesome video. So, are you saying on that last part here 17:50 , that you can only open one tax-free saving account so that your life-time limit is not impacted vs having multiple tax-free savings accounts?

    • @mikedearden777
      @mikedearden777 Місяць тому

      You can have more than 1 TFSA but the limits apply. So if you have 2 then you can pay r18k into each max per tax year. So your TFSAs are added together for yearly and lifetime limits

    I am wondering why africa is using the same T.F.S.A name as canada. I click it because I though it was canada, so we have to be careful. Where do you get 9 % from, because even banks in america are not giving you such high interest so tell me where in Africa I can get 9%

      In tax free account? For 12 months? You doing it wrong.

    • @mikedearden777
      @mikedearden777 Місяць тому

      You will pay R24k ×40% if you pay r5000x 12 or r9600 in tax.. R36k max into tfsa per tax year and r500 000 lifetime limit. So if you pay for 7 months the that is r35000.
