Let’s find our #waystosave – it’s never too early to start.”
Thami Cele, head of savings and investments at Everyday Banking, Absa Retail and Business Banking, emphasises that while saving in the current environment might seem challenging, it’s important to have a holistic understanding of your financial situation and focus on what you can do.
