Graduates, take notes... Do you know that your salary is an illusion? Let me teach you some basic math: R350,000 a year. After taxes you only get about R287, 225. Minus 12% for pension, take home is R257 565.

If you are not staying at home, rent can be about R4500/month. #stayhome If you don't have medical aid already, R1700 minimum less maybe for hospital cover only... Your new cash flow is R257, 565−(R54, 000+R1, 700×12) = R183, 165.

@Ntandoza To think that no mention of kid's education and their general expenses were mentioned. How dire is it even looking with that possibility included?

@Ntandoza Say no more, thina esenza Geography nje sikuzwa kahle.

@Ntandoza Wow, wish that was a realistic starting salary.

@Ntandoza Kahle kahle a good starting salary after grad school it's R4m, yes 4 million Rands!

@Ntandoza The problem with this thread is that it assumes that a person with a business doesn't have to pay medical insurance, buy a car or rent or food . Secondly who told people that pension contribution are expenses ? Because when you contribute to your pension fund it's an investment
