As Sanlam’s National Savings Month experiment comes to an end, the One Rand Family is reflecting on their experience of living solely on R1 coins for the month of July.
Now intimately aware of where their money goes every month, they are committed to making a number of changes as a family to enable them to prepare for and maintain a healthy financial future.
The final episode shows just how far they’ve come. Short on cash, they spend the final nine days enjoying home-cooked meals, packed lunches for work and wearing clothes that were purchased and then forgotten about. And as they are handed back their cards the family’s biggest spender, mom Londi, takes the first brave step by cutting up her credit cards.
Don’t miss the final web-episode on www.onerandfamily.co.za live or catch it on e.tv on Monday and Tuesday at 17:25. The family will also soon be sharing the top ten lessons they’ve learnt.
