A woman has shared an effective cost-saving method to help South Africans find financial freedom.

Woman shows how to pay off a loan faster with small monthly increases

TikTok user @soulfairy3 posted a video of how to be financially free from years of debt. According to News24, financial freedom is managing your money instead of letting it control you.

Financial freedom is not owing the bank anything

This is why the woman says instead of paying only the minimum required amount each month, increase monthly payments by R500 or R1000, depending on an individual's financial capacity. Although it may seem like a slight difference, this additional contribution can make a significant impact over time.
