Can I live off 1k? Edit: Thank you so much to everyone for the help, the advice and tips given were very helpful, I've got what I needed and have now created a sustainable budget, I appreciate all the help. Hi ,I'm a 24F living in Johannesburg asking for advice on how to manage living off of 1k a month. I have no rent expenses ,I'm a student and Electricity and water are taken care of. I'm not allowed to get a job until im done with school so that's out of the question. The only thing I have to take care of is food and data which is already a problem, can anyone advice on how I can tackle that. I also have no debt in my name. And can I add anything to investments if I can manage to budget properly. I do not have food storage but I do have a stove and can survive off 2 meals or 1 big meal a day.

I’m a 28yr old with 2 degrees and have never had a real job, what am I doing wrong? Hey yall, what can I do to improve my chances of getting a job? I have a National Diploma in Logics and Supply Chain Management but no opportunities seem to ever come my way. I apply everyday yet I can’t even seem to get to interview stage. I’m such a hard worker and have even done volunteer work just to get exposure but unfortunately the small companies I volunteer for never have budget to absorb me. Any tips or opportunities you guys know of?

Dating in Durban I’m 38M, I’ve been looking to find a serious relationship in the city since I got back from the UK last year, but this is proving to be more difficult than drawing blood from a stone. Does anyone know of like dating places to meet potential love interests? It’s looking bleak.

Is buying a 450k 2nd hand sports car irresponsible on a new R1M annual salary? I just started a new job two days ago paying just over R1,000,000 gross a year. Part of the package includes a car allowance (still figuring out how that works, benefit selections happen in a few days). Relevant context: \-No kids \-I have a paid off old 4x4. It's not the most practical or reliable, but I won't sell it, it has sentimental value and it goes forever \-I have about R50k credit card debt I plan to pay off ASAP with the new salary \-Fixed monthly costs are low: R11k rent, R800 internet, plus general living expenses I'm considering buying a 2nd hand sports car (coupe) for R450k. I'd try to get a 5 year loan with around a 10% deposit. Some points in its favor: \-Low mileage \-Still under a maintenance and service plan, so few surprise costs expected \-Already depreciated a fair bit since it's used, so resale should hold up reasonably \-Relatively fuel light \- I’ve been researching this for months and think I found a good example and a good deal/price for the car So is this an irresponsible purchase given where I am financially? Or am I just justifying something I want to buy? Would love an outside perspective before I commit. Edit: Rethinking it. Just a query as to how vehicle allowance benefit might work? My package is total cost to company at 1.07 mil and that’s not changing. So what’s the point of the benefit, unless it means it goes off my salary before tax? And if so, wouldn’t it make sense that I make use of that?

Married men vs Side chicks Who is at fault between the married man and the girlfriend who doesn’t know that the man whom she’s dating is married? To make things worse, the main wife will blame the girl for sleeping with a married man yet the married man was never honest with the girl from the get go ?

How do people afford all these new cars? My wife and I (both in our 30s) earn quite a decent salary and I think we are in the upper tier of what would be considered the middle class if I take the household income after deductions. ​ We rent a property in Johannesburg with a toddler and a new baby on the way in less than a month. Driving to work and back I often ask myself how do people afford these cars? ​ I am not talking about the R1.5m and above German models. I am talking about R600k and up. ​ When you look at the monthly installments of 10k excluding insurance. I am honestly not sure how people make it work. ​ My wife and I share a car, Nissan Magnite. Everyone excluding myself is on medical aid, renting a property, some credit card payments and some personal loans, my toddler is in a preschool and a few other expenses like internet, paying the domestic we have around 15k left over for daily/weekly expenses. ​ "I walk past Checkers and I need to pay R800 for 3 bags of items". Fill up the car and another 1k departing my account weekly" My toddler is asking for a new toy. "Lets have a braai" message from a friend sees another R800 depart my account. ​ I think you get the picture. ​ Yes 15k sounds like a lot of money but how is every 3/4th car on the road a R12k expense on a 40% balloon payment in this economy is what I don't understand when I consider our family being reasonably comfortable financially. ​ It really does feel like I am missing something here?

Looking for 45+M, must have game Not so recently divorced M2 looking for someone to chat with online. I'm bored. Will I roast you mercilessly? Yes. Hopefully life has already dealt with your ego, and you don't take yourself too seriously (this does not mean I am willing to entertain clowns). It's fine because you're not insecure and could flex me into submission, but you have self restraint, and a sense of humour. And it's nice to be seen. Not for the married or committed, disloyalty is a disqualifier. I am not interested in anything serious or real life, but I am good company and we can fake it for a bit. Please, mazuvano I am traumatising people back. Let's play nicely with others, hanti?

What’s your problem?😂 Lots of Zim men can’t handle rejection! It’s always a stinky attitude with a lot of yall! A guy approached me, pretending like it was a work conversation. I politely told him no… “ I want to get to know you.” I said uhm thank you I’m flattered but no✨…. He asks “why” I’m trying to be friendly I just say I’m a good digger and a horrible partner. Enjoy your day😂 he says that’s ok let’s talk on WhatsApp. This time I don’t even smile or nothing I just say no. Tell me why this man cussed at me. “I don’t want want your number I just want your WhatsApp are you dumb? You dumb B” Hezvo 😂 🤣 Why are some of you so childish😂?? Why are you always ready to cuss at women who aren’t interested in you? What’s wrong with you??? Is it ever that serious?? And I could have been rude! Mind you this is a grown man! Looks like his mid 40s balding belly and everything I’m irritated. Kwanai And the worst part is I wasn’t even mean. I was nice. I understand it takes a lot of courage to approach someone. Then you cuss at me? Haa should we be rude now??? Should we do all that “you not my class” drama… when do we win?

Even in an everybody eats game, a Barcelona player still stinks😭

Thierry Henry came out to defend Lionel Messi after the VAR review that sparked a storm on social media, 🗣️ "Yes, there is contact. Yes, it looks awkward. But not every collision is a red card. People are reacting because it's Messi. If it were another player, I don't think there would be nearly as much controversy" "Football is a contact sport, and sometimes incidents look much worse in real time than they really are. To me, it was accidental, unfortunate, and nothing more than that"

Once you start seeing things like… -“His teammates let him down” -“But he’s 41 years old” -“His teammates don’t like him” -“2008 videos” You just know he has played rubbish and they are trying to defend Him 😂😂😭

❗️Lamine Yamal, via TVE: “A message to everyone who supported us in the last match?

I'm also sure that we will all be together on July 19. See you soon, and a hug to everyone”. 💪🏽

🚨| Barça are relaxed about Raphinha’s future. Deco and Hansi Flick see him as untouchable and a key part of the project. If Raphinha decides to leave, the club would only consider offers for a huge fee due to his age, importance, and Ballon d’Or-level season. Barça’s current plan for next season is to have Raphinha and Gordon as their left-wing options. The goal is to add quality, not lose it. — ffpolo7 🥇

🎙️ Bruno Fernandes on the criticism directed at Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal’s style of play: 🇵🇹🗣️ “Yes, I’ve seen the criticism. I know some people are talking about me and other Portugal players, saying that we don’t do enough to help Cristiano Ronaldo. I understand the passion of the fans because Cristiano means so much to Portugal, but sometimes people misunderstand what happens on the pitch.”

🚨 Eric García: “Anthony Gordon is a very fast player, who does not stop pressing. I think it’s something different from what we have, perhaps because we have one-on-one wingers like Lamine or Rapha, but Gordon is a winger that stings a lot in space. I think that can also help us a lot. And obviously later, when it comes to pressing. When we played against him this year, we already saw him too.”

What we were expecting VS what we got from Deco

Shocking from Turkiye… was expecting way better from them. Out of World Cup with 0 goals (!) and 2 defeats. Wow.
