What does a CA who almost became Miss SA have to teach us about generational wealth? More than you'd expect.
In this episode, I sit down with Anzel – chartered accountant turned TV personality and mom of two – to talk about the money lessons we weren't taught growing up, and the ones we're now trying to pass on to our own kids.
We cover a lot of ground: how an Afrikaner upbringing shaped her relationship with money, why tax-free savings accounts are the first thing she maxes out on 1 March every year (and the costly mistake she made with hers), and why parking money in the stock market is not the same thing as building wealth.
There's also a really honest conversation about mom guilt, career pivots, and what it actually means to give your children more than you started with.
