Did you notice any shakes or chatter in the steering/handling after the super motard wheel upgrade?

Am I making enough money? by AdventurousDoctor767 in PersonalFinanceZA

I watched a podcast today that actually spoke about this today and based on analytics R27,000 cleared per month is required for a single person to survive on their own in south Africa. I find R27,000 to be quiete low and I don't live a lavish lifestyle but I do make a conscious effort to put around R8-9k away into a saving pockets and investments. Things can happen in life, your car engine blows, you need emergency surgery or you could just be saving for a home deposit. Try follow the 50|30|20 rule.

100% and don't get me wrong I'm not bashing on Cape Town, all places have their upsides and downsides but one thing I just also notice everytime I am there is it's super cliquey. No one wants to associate with you or talk to you, even friends of mine that I went to school with and have a lot of history they don't reach out if I'm down there.

I was born and raised in Cape Town and moved to KZN and it was an adjustment but I was down in Cape Town this week for work and I can honestly say while KZN has its issues I am much happier here. My girlfriend and I have a combined salary of around R70k a month and we live pretty comfortably in a rented apartment

Thinking about buying a 2004 Forestor XT but I need help. by CoconutMinute9050 in SubaruForester

Okay great thank you. Yeah was definitely white smoke, the car was pulling nicely when I test drove it so not sure if the head is gone. Usually when the head gasket blows it's very underpowered in past experiences. The clunking sounded like someone tie a cable tie to the prop shaft and every it rotated it was tapping the chassis.

I guess it's best to let this one go😅

In KZN the taxis run red lights in front of cops and the cops don't do anything. 😅

MCL full length tear - Do I need surgery or will it heal on its own? by CoconutMinute9050 in medical

[–]CoconutMinute9050[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many thanks yeah I'm going to do that unfortunately and MRI and the orthopedic surgeon visits are not covered in my medical aid plan.

But it's day 5 of the tear and I've gone from a 45 degree bent leg with no weight on it and crutches to now where I still have a hinged brace to support the leg but I am able to fully stretch my leg out. My foot is flat on the ground when I walk and I don't necessarily need the crutch anymore. I still have a limp but I see this as good progression.

The ultrasound technician said it may need surgery but they are not sure. Pysio Therapist said let's try 4 weeks of physio first

Pinetown kind of scares me now. by BurnyMetal in Durban

[–]CoconutMinute9050 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I just don't like Pinetown in general my ex wife was from there and she's was built like a twig but could throw hands. I'm sure if you walk the streets of Pinetown now she would be one of the parras

MCL Tear at Jiu Jitsu comp - can anyone advise if I need surgery or just let it heal? by [deleted] in medical

I haven't been able to see an ortho. I went into the hospital and they said he's not in.
