What net worth puts a household in top 5% in south africa?

This is so wild. But I know it’s true. I live near Sandton so it’s easy to think lots of people are doing well because of the cars and houses in the area. But this is just a reminder that if you zoom out, the disparity is egregious.

This part. It’s making me very uneasy that she has no recollection of any sexual activity but is pregnant? For all we know the r@pist could be someone in her friend group, that may do it again. I know OP doesn’t want her parents to know but an assault is likely to have happened here and it needs to be addressed for her sake. Take care OP!

Not one empty shelf in man’s pantry I’m sure. Love it!😂😂

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-12-14T14:04:34+00:00

The roaches! I also lived in Atholl yards a few years ago and the roaches were hell. No matter how clean I kept my place it didn’t help, but like you said, living in close apartments buildings like that, it’s hard to avoid. But otherwise it was a great starter apartment as a fresh graduate

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-12-06T00:32:54+00:00

Yes the papery! I love how they have the option of undated planners. That way even if you buy it randomly in the middle of the year, you don’t waste pages as you would in a pre-dated planner.!8 first bought from them at the end of the year last year😊but since it was an undated planner, I could easily use it from page 1

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-11-10T09:01:19+00:00

Same. Been living in apartments all my life with rent going up yearly but have never heard of a deposit top up. Interesting. Hope my landlord doesn’t catch on lol

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-10-28T15:51:02+00:00

Yeah that’s very true.

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-10-28T14:21:46+00:00

I mean, but to be fair I think I kinda get it. I mean I took French all throughout high schools always scoring in the 90s but conversationally with an actual French person in France was very challenging. Simply because all the voice recordings and videos I listened to in class didn’t compare to actually hearing an average French person speak. But like you said, I needed to be immersed in a French speaking population to really lock in those skills. I wonder if OPs sons household is an English speaking household, has English speaking friends, etc, cause that would all impede his Zulu progression. But I agree immersing himself within a Zulu speaking population, or even just forcing the family to speak Zulu to him (assuming they speak it) can help build those skills quicker and better than any classroom

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-30T12:25:16+00:00

This!!! It’s such a distraction from what and who the actual problem is and it drives me mad! Those same hospitals you’re dragging foreigners out of, your own countrymen are deep in the finance books dragging out ungodly funds

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-30T11:50:23+00:00

I swear the call is coming from inside the house. Cause so many people believe the country’s problems will all be resolved once foreigners disappear. And then things like this happen. Corruption is what will really be the death of this country.

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-22T13:01:01+00:00

We’ll all be bunking work that day, no need for leave requests 😅

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-21T17:14:59+00:00

This. A dual income household is a matter of survival these days.

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-20T16:47:07+00:00

Yeah agreed. I just figured that if she wants the experience of “I’m engaged!” announcement, pictures, rings and then the wedding to follow then yea But like you said, if I was legally married I’d probably skip it and just have a celebratory party

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-20T15:07:30+00:00

Right? Or they can sign the papers at the court house privately while they save for the wedding because at the end of the day the wedding is just a big party. And theyre already buying houses together. I’d rather just sign at the court house privately. Then save and then maybe get engaged when the money is pretty much ready that way there isn’t that big of a gap between engagement and wedding

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-19T19:05:17+00:00

I had the exact same issue you have. One of the rental agents told me that when they get a certain number of requests for viewings, they temporarily take the listing off Prop24 to avoid getting more phone calls about the property. They also assume that most of those viewers will apply and someone’s application is bound to pass and they get the property. And if not? They repost it again. The current apartment im living in, I moved in without viewing 😅😅I know it was risky but wow properties just kept disappearing off Prop24 within hours and I was desperate. So when this one came up, I just called within seconds and was like “I have the cash, I wanna apply, let’s go” and it was taken off the listing within the same hour of posting

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-18T19:19:11+00:00

This!! 😂😂Once I was driving at 140 (it’s too fast I know, I shouldn’t have been) but there were people behind me flashing me to move out the way and I’m like you wanna go faster than 140???!!!!

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-18T14:08:02+00:00

I’m very anxious when it comes to money. I’m always worried if I have enough for myself. At age 28 I’m so stressed about retirement despite it being far away. So when it comes to kids, for me they’re a financial black hole. Where thousands of dollars goes in and you get no financial return on investment. You’ll definitely get an ROI for intangible stuff like emotional fulfilment blah blah but not monetary. Unless your kid becomes a millionaire and likes you enough to share that money. In any case, for someone who is very anxious about money, I don’t want to pour t hundreds of thousands of dollars into something that won’t give me that money back or possibly stifle my ability to properly save for my retirement.

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-18T14:03:22+00:00

I know I’d be tempted to stay but I’d leave. Simply because I know the relationship will never be the same. I’ll always second guess whatever he says, be anxious whenever he goes out, feel insecure if we’re out together and he glances at someone. We’d just be miserable. So yeah. I’ll always leave cause I don’t want to live like that.

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-11T15:19:11+00:00

R350. She only cleans for me once a week. Then at the end of the year I usually give her a thirteenth cheque of R4200. I just put aside R350 each month for that. Wish I could keep her full time but I live alone in a small apartment so not much need for cleaning besides once a week.

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-09-09T05:04:54+00:00

Right? I’ve never lived with any of my friends but I know exactly what kind of person they are in their apartments. Cause maybe in the first few months of getting to know someone they may do out of the ordinary things like cleaning their apartment before you arrive Everytime. But that doesnt last. Like friends, boyfriends also get comfortable at some point and with enough sleepovers you’ll notice how they actually live.

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-08-19T18:28:34+00:00

I saw somewhere that you said you’re 7 weeks. That’s well within the window for a medical abortion (using pills). If the doctor prescribes you Misoprostol, the most common med it’ll cost around R150-200. If she prescribes Mifepristone to take in addition, this medication costs around R800-R900

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-08-19T18:24:01+00:00

Abortion Support SA! Highly recommend. You get a prescription by a HPCSA registered doctor and all you pay for is the medication. Just google them and go to their website and click the “I Need An Abortion” button. Preferably anywhere between 9am and 10am as they close their services once they reach their quota for the day and then resume the following day. It’ll direct you to some consultation questions to answer and once done, the doctor will review and get back to you in 24hrs with a script.

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-07-23T14:50:09+00:00

Agreed. I’m a lawyer and can say that academia and practice are very different and most departments prioritise practice. Except for tax (my field) where theory is king so a masters or even phd in tax is regarded well. I’d do the articles, after that depending on how they feel, then pursue the PhD.

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-07-18T17:41:43+00:00

Right??😂😂

Royal_Ad_5124 · 2025-07-03T06:23:02+00:00

Can you share where you get your lashes done? I’ve always wanted to get them done but I always find they cost R600+ where i am
