July is Savings Month

“Don’t save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving”
– Warren Buffet

South Africans are among the world’s worst savers (15.4% of GDP according to an article on Fin24 in 2015).

Far too often in the financial industry do we encounter clients who do not make the necessary provision for their needs:

Retirement

Children Education

Deposit on a house

Unexpected expenses / Emergency fund

 

Reasons for this can include a lack of discipline, living beyond your needs or not understanding the different products available to you.

At TVC we can help you understand the products available to you and recommend a product that will suite your lifestyle and address your needs.

A few examples of products and their benefits include:

      Endowments
