@Thedrivenman Better option for who? There'll always be better options than myself

@penuelist_ Lobola was meant to be a token of appreciation however it has changed into a money making scheme. Religious and traditional leaders could play an important role in changing it into a good thing again. I see some churches are trying to make it great again.

iLobolo has lost its essence. It was meant to bring families together at a time when women were not emancipated & needed men to decide on who gets to take custodianship over them.
Today, women can make their own money, buy their own properties, sleep with whomever they want & conceive or abort if they wish... yet they still want men to pay ilobolo for them.
And uninformed families think ilobolo was cows or money, when it was actually about gifts & compensation for acquiring an asset, stripping it of its name & making it your own, so you can use it as a helper & a surrogate.
Black people need to liberate themselves from these outdated practices. Women need to decide if they want to remain children or want to be independently-minded adults. iLobolo must fall. And formal marriage is outdated.

Unpopular Truth:
There is an income level that is not solely determined by working hard.
It depends on the job you do, the country you work in, the organisation you belong to, your position within that organisation, and who decides your salary.
And (this is the part that bites the most) who you know and who knows you.

@Thedrivenman Attraction is influenced by many factors, but becoming your best self is always worthwhile.

@penuelist_ Are you in the top 5% - yes
Is it a decent income - no
Try buying house, raising a family, saving having basic expenses (insurance, car, med aid etc) then see how far that takes you.
It's only decent if you justify it with: "others have it worse" mentality but in this economy..

@Bavu08 @penuelist_ What he's saying is simple: live within your means. R20k can go a long way if your standards are based on your own reality and not on what you see on social media.

@penuelist_ People on social media like to act like millionaires when in fact they are just regular people feeling the economic hardships like everyone else but like to act rich hiding behind a keyboard and a screen

@penuelist_ A bit of an oversimplification if you ask me, considering we live in one of the most unequal socities, in a country where most people have dependants before even touching their first salary.
