I am a 19 year old in South Africa and have about R60 000 saved up in a fixed compound account (7.70% nominal). Making, give or take, R15000 per month. Monthly expenses are R2000 food and R1400 petrol.
I know this may feel like i’m overreacting but I am really stressed about being in my 20s soon with the way people say the world is going and silent depression talks and living a much longer life span and all of that. (I understand that life is going to get a lot harder when i’m older and all that but i’d really like to get a head start if i can, especially with a retirement fund.)
So does anyone have any advice for investing accounts (thinking about Allen Grey and PSG?). Should I be looking into stocks? Should I keep some in the bank? Crypto? Bitcoin?
Any advice and maybe what to expect and returns would be really appreciated please![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
