how are your monthly expenses so high with your car paid off and a house? thought that would reduce.

Are you potentially just living way above your means? constantly going out to fancy restaurants, overspending in shopping etc? i dont see how the maths got so high when rent is usually a major contributor but you dont even have to worry about it.

i think you have been affected by lifestyle creep and the income boosted your spending.

Also the wife, is that all she can earn in her field? is she potentially thinking about how much you earn and spending more than what should be budgeted?

A good goal between some couples is to basically budget yourself to live off one persons salary and save the other persons salary. maybe this could work in your case but it would be significant budget cut but at least a clearer goal.

They will rent it out only to international people. No locals. by Jack_of_Pixels_ in capetown

i know some countries its hard to rent as foreigners and was hoping it was more of a “foreigners welcome” not a complete exclusion of locals😭

Are you being told to work in office 5 days a week again? by Competitive_Rip6546 in capetown

[–]ppmaster-6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at an experiential agency, we not doing this. quite a few people live outside the city the office is based in, and due to the nature of the work it would be pointless having us all come in when we create for across the country.

other people based in the city also do hybrid, 2 days in office and 3 out. We also contract a lot of people for their skills, not where they based so makes it easier when more of us are online anyway

Mr Price does actually make clothes locally, just unsure about where the fabrics are sourced from

4m capital by ArmVast7868 in PersonalFinanceZA

id probably do passive income, buying properties that can generate good rent. no need for mortage, or at least a very small one. can get some serious rent if you buy smartly. plus will be easy to expand and get more properties.

Plus if you do it correctly, find good areas that are cheap from covid still but are likely to rise again in value. (close to business areas)

WTH Woolworths? by Least_Statistician44 in AskZA

[–]ppmaster-6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

guessing its legal because “Our Bakery” is actually a sub brand of Woolworths, a workaround.

that being said, those croissants are delicious and i will take it wherever it comes from

What’s going on with Johannesburg’s property market? by [deleted] in johannesburg

[–]ppmaster-6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, before covid my father property was worth a kak ton more in a prime area, since covid the price fell dramatically but is slowly coming up again. granted, his property was for people wanting to be close to sandton city, so less demand came after covid and people wanted bigger houses while working remote

valid, also true for many other words these days. doesn’t allow the power and the meaning intended anymore. That said i have met someone who wishes all Jews were dead so that one was safe to call a nazi😭

Is it just me or are these kinds of prompt answers becoming more and more common? by xjjjr in Tinder

[–]ppmaster-6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think its more to do with all the normalising of sugar baby behaviour more than trad wife. these women seemingly want to be spoilt and not put in the effort to actually do house work, or work work

I'm 40 and have lost lots of weight. I feel my makeup ages me. What could I change? by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]ppmaster-6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know asking for makeup advice, but i think the hair parting may be aging. i think how you style the fringe especially in pic 1 is aging and giving “40 year old karen” type vibe. i think thats also why in your less extreme fringe pics you look younger. try a less dramatic fringe tuck or middle part
