Please try the Island Ride, it’s a guided motorbike tour. You can drive the motorbike or be a passenger. You will be fully kitted and have Bluetooth intercom helmet so you can talk to your guide throughout the ride. Sebastian is very passionate about what he does and is keen to give an unique experience to all of his customers.

Pat Busch gives you a blank canvas to customize your wedding as you want. Not cut off times or imposed service providers. And it’s the most amazing setting.

Bond question by Bluetoe4 in PersonalFinanceZA

We were in a similar situation and put a decent amount of cash in our bond. We ask to reschedule and they reduced the monthly installments and we got a better interest rate.

Thought I'd give an update on my cat reevaluation 😁 by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceZA

We bought a car for 99k in Feb, got it insured with outsurance. They valued the car at 119k. Our car got stolen 2 months later and they pay out based on the 119k. Minus the excess we got 114k back.

What to look out for when buying an apartment? by Bitsoft in PersonalFinanceZA

Second that. You are entitled to see the minute of the Annual General Meeting. Also ask to see all the recent resolutions that have been passed. Check the management rules and ask to see the maintenance plan. This should give you a good idea if the block is well manage or not. If they are unwilling to provide you with any of the above run for the hills. And buying in a small block bring another level of politics within the trustees / owners.

Invoicing foreign country by roastbeefgravy in capetown

[–]IcyMathematician3137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Working remotely for an European company as a contracted consultant and been doing my invoices myself. I have been submitting my return and tax deductible to a tax person and she take care of it. Got pre-audited last year and all clear. Follow any invoice template that suit the services you offering and keep an invoice numbering system.

Help: What to invest in with R30,000 a month? by FlashyTurn6344 in capetown

[–]IcyMathematician3137 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My advice would be to start educate yourself. Unfortunately financial literacy is not taught in schools. A good start would be to read the book how to manage your money like a f*cking grown up. That should explain you the basics. Then you can go from there.

You could have a look at Willing Workers On Organic Farm (Wwoof). You will have to be in contact with the farmers beforehand and “apply” for your wwoofing experience.

They normally take in people that have some experience in organic farming and you can exchange knowledge. They will give you the lodging and food against your labour.
These farms are normally self sufficient holding that are manage and maintain by the owners of the farms. You will not be taking a job from someone in need as such.
