The Easiest Way to Become A Millionaire in South Africa; Tax-Free!
Tax-Free Savings Accounts are one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) investment tool in South Africa, so in this podcast, I’m answering the questions I get asked all the time about TFSAs.
We cover:
• What a Tax-Free Savings Account actually is
• How much you can contribute (and what happens if you go over)
• Whether a TFSA is a savings account or an investment
• When you should (and shouldn’t) withdraw your money
• Common TFSA mistakes that can cost you in the long run
• How to use a TFSA for long-term wealth, not short-term stress
If you’ve ever wondered whether a TFSA is worth it, how to start, or if you’ve already “messed it up” — this is for you.
