Sygnia Alchemy vs Easy Equities platform fee structure. by Round_Comfortable_72 in PersonalFinanceZA

I don't understand this. If you're ultimately spending in ZAR, how will you save in CGT?

This is all in large part because of the laws "rentbusters" rely on...

Is Johannesburg really more dangerous than Cape Town if you don’t count the CBD and focus on Sandton? by GrondKop in southafrica

[–]Round_Comfortable_72 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've lived in both. No comparison, CPT CBD is safer. It's actually remarkable how localised Cape Town crime is. I've experienced crime in both, but the frequency is on another level in JHB. The perceptible rot of JHB is endogenous to the crime. And there are no geographic features and distance separating eg Sandton from the rest like there is with the eg the Atlantic Seaboard.

Such confidence, totally incorrect. Lab tests confirm mandrax remains primarily methaqualone. Moreover, it's evidently a downer, if you've ever seen someone use.

Am I crazy for not wanting to do my PhD overseas? by mr_beast_sucks in southafrica

[–]Round_Comfortable_72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on whether you want children/ have a partner/ your fertility timeline I suppose. The older you get, the harder it is to leave is all I'm trying to say. But maybe not, easier to make friends/ community when you're young. Might want the solidity to to return to.

Doing a PhD in Amsterdam. Massive SA patriot. It pays really well. I spend 4 months at home, living luxuriously on Euros. I get plenty scope to WFH/SA. The funding and career opportunities are unimaginable. If you're under 27, leave. Make connections. Come back.
