    Hey nico I appreciate your effort and time putting this up here, my word last year was determination and here we go this year with CONSISTENCY . I’m happy to be financially free and currently growing a solid retirement plan. It takes a positive and consistency to learn new things, unlearn the old habits ms Important to get a mentor/coach to lead you all the way. It’s great to start young too!

There’s financial experts out there who do not look at their fees but the impact and intrinsic value they bring along to you no matter how little you want to start.

    I love the fact that you acknowledge your impulse mistakes, I literally had to write down a list of all the things I need in the new year and bulk buy all at once, and this actually helped me save a lot and keep track of my money.
    E.g :In January I'll say okay I need new jeans, bedding, dresses, sneakers, toilatries, cleaning products, I rather spend R10 000 in one month to buy all I want than to just shop recklessly every month.
    Now I know that every month, the only thing I need is groceries that I cant bulk buy (fruits and vegetables), nails and hair and transport.

    I think Nicollet it's called applied Knowledge is power. Learning more and actually doing something about it is likely going to help you earn more. So there is truth in the saying, if you learn more you earn more. By the way motivation works I honestly believe that. You mention readying books, go socialize, etc and I believe those are motivation that other people need to change thier lives. I believe motivation is something that you need to keep on listening to till you actually believe it.think about preparing for exams,you read more than once to actually understand and be able to understand and apply the knowledge.
