stand-up comedy gig.
Did you know most South Africans would rather not talk about their finances?
But that's the whole problem, Mzansi. See, the less we talk about money, the more likely we are to make mistakes with it. When we talk, we learn, and we help the people around us to learn too. It's a win-win, which is precisely why we hid a financial literacy course in a hilarious, live stand-up comedy gig, The F-Show — set to start streaming soon. Watch the lessons down below, but first things first; start a chat with our bot to determine your money personality. It's all part of building a life of financial confidence.

OUR SOLUTIONS
Ready to talk finances?
Here are some topics to help guide you through your fintervention.
Lesson 1: Ditch your money shame. It’s keeping you broke.
We tend to blame ourselves for our financial difficulties and think we’re alone, which leads to shame and silence. Mpho Popps reminds us that most South Africans are having a tough time.
Lesson 2: Debt can trap you. Use it wisely.
Avoid getting into debt by having a healthy emergency fund and insurance, and never use debt to fund lifestyle expenses. As Vafa Naraghi says, “Live within your means!”
Lesson 3: Invest, invest, invest! Especially if you’re a woman.
Khanyisa Bunu gets us talking about how women are generally paid less and face unique care burdens. Investing is one of the most powerful ways to overcome this.
Lesson 4: Things will go wrong. Be prepared
Bad things happen. Mitigate the risk by insuring anything that could bankrupt you or your family - think income, disability, life, and funeral cover.
Lesson 5: Building wealth takes time. Start early.
While get-rich-quick schemes might be tempting, they’re usually lies. Instead, focus on time-tested, trusted investments and give your money time to grow.
Lesson 6: Emotions drive our spending. Understand yours.
Money is emotional because it’s about our choices and our values. A good financial adviser can help you create a plan that puts your money where your heart is.Still not comfortable talking finance with your friendsexin-lawskidsparentsbestiefriends
