South Africans Share Whopping Salaries of Over R60k, Say It’s Still Not Enough

• South African peeps shared how the middle is about the mindset and not really about the money earned
• One TikTok user said they earn R70 000 but have no idea where their money is going compared to another who makes less and said they are living the best life
• A financial advisor encouraged people to focus more on retaining their money and avoiding debt

South Africans shared unpopular experiences with money. Those who are earning more are broke, and those who are earning less are leaving like millionaires.

@financially.fabulous uploaded a TikTok video explaining how that is so. The woman replied to a clip about the middle-class compromising of a household that earns between R40k to R70k per month.

She said the middle class is not really about the income earned but about the mindset. She said in her line of work, she has worked with people who made R25k but left off R17k, and she has worked with people who earned R80k and left off R77k and are broke.
