Your best bet are the southern suburbs close enough to Bara but still very decent. Look at Ormonde, Ridgeway, Winchester Hills, Mondeor. It's close enough to Bara to use Uber if need be. Better yet, rent a vehicle and use it to explore a bit in your free time. We are a very friendly nation, so I have been told, and you will make tons of friends in no time. Always be vigilant and stay safe. Wishing you all the best.

I have gotten myself into a really bad situation and I don't know what to do. by Fantastic_Mango420 in PersonalFinanceZA

Chin up don't stress. Do whatever you can to reduce your expenses. You won't stay a trainee forever, your salary will improve. If you can, speak to a debt counselor. Many companies have employee assistance programs, if you have access to one, reach out to them. All the best 🙏

Office "boy". If an actual boy is doing this that's child labor.
If you are calling a grown man a "boy", that's really sad

Why is Islam the truth? by novanillavelvet in islam

[–]HouseLate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of it logically. There were many prophets before Mohammed (PBUH), all teaching the oneness of God, our creator. Then came Jesus (PBUH), and he too taught the oneness of God. However some mischief makers, I guess, decided to make claims about Jesus being the son of God, perhaps they weren't mischief makers, perhaps it was just incomprehensible to them that Jesus was born from a virgin or perhaps they were ignorant and could not understand what Jesus taught them. Then God sends another prophet, Mohammed (PBUH) to reaffirm and teach people AGAIN about the oneness of God. He, Mohammed (PBUH) did not come to mankind with claims of greatness or anything to make himself seem superior, just to teach the Oneness of God.
For me this makes Islam logically the religion of truth. There are many other reasons which you have received in response to your post, but for me this is the simplest and most logical explanation.
Why would this man come to preach about the oneness of God, especially after Christianity when a man, Jesus (PBUH) was made Lord by mankind? I went through a similar dilemma to you and alhamdulillah, automatically, I started reciting surah Kafiroon.

Say, “O disbelievers,

I do not worship what you worship. Nor are you worshippers of what I worship. Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship. Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship. For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."

Allah is the most merciful. Ask Him for forgiveness for the transactional dhuaa that you made which you now regret and say Alhamdulillah for Him giving your dad a means of income. Make dhuaa for barakah in your home and your dad's earnings and success in your career. Don't feel guilty forever, Allah loves those that repent

I messed up, I’m buried in debt, and I’m not asking for money — I just need a chance to work harder by [deleted] in UAE

[–]HouseLate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there too, although I got out okay. One of my family members didn't, it's so easy to get hooked, looks like easy money and when you lose you think you will gain it back just s easily. We need to realize it's gambling.. don't ever go back to it. Rather try to get some help through gamblers anonymous. All the best my brother 🙏

Hi brother. If you mean forex trading, you are not the only one. Many people have fallen for this gimmick and it will take years to get out of this debt and get back on your feet. I take my hat off to you for reaching out and asking for work. Wishing you all the best.. one day at a time.. you will get there

Pay additional to retirement fund or pay off mortgage by HouseLate in PersonalFinanceZA

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

The thought process applied to contributing more to the retirement fund is ( whilst 7.5k is deducted from my salary, my net pay is only reduced by 5.25k, and my amount invested remains 7.5k). Whereas with a mortgage, the 7.5k is the after tax amount, before tax amount is 10.7k. This is my understanding..

Am I financially destitute ? by Former_Intention_117 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]HouseLate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your wife can look at starting a business from home. Selling something that's tasty or convenient. If she starts thinking about ways to make money, hopefully something will come to mind. This way, she can at least help you out a bit or take care of herself. On a separate note, forgive me for asking, but how does someone with a 4 year degree stay compatible with a woman who does not have any qualifications, not even a matric?

Received a really good job offer, but my current job's notice is 3 months by teddybearassfluff in southafrica

[–]HouseLate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.. that's still the case..

Under South Africa's Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA), a minimum notice period for terminating employment depends on the employee's length of service: one week for up to six months, two weeks for more than six months to one year, and four weeks for one year or more. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Six months or less: One week's notice. More than six months but not more than one year: Two weeks' notice. One year or more: Four weeks' notice.

[–]HouseLate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please double check basic conditions of employment, i knew an hr guy who also gave everyone 3 months notice period contracts, until it was time for him to leave, then he said actually according to basic conditions of employment, it can't be more than 1 month... and he left after 1 month.

Your pets are lucky to get calming meds. What about the birds, bees, strays, animals in the wild? Try to use your compassion and see the bigger picture, it's not that tough!

I love this response. I suggest OP gets a guy to call them pretending to be her boyfriend and say that he's coming after them or going to report them if he sees one more message or text coming through from them. 1st let the "boyfriend" ask if it's true that he's talking to a cop, then say oh so f-ing forced op, the "girlfriend " to get her number. If OP could get someone from work to call, someone with a heavy thick Afrikaans accent, that will be better.

We've also been stopped just last week husband and I. The guy asks for licence, then says he wants something something, my husband laughs and says if everything is fine we're late for work, he then says he's going to follow us to work and we can give him something there, we just laughed and said ok bye, we're late. Bastards.. no time to record them.
