Briefly News spoke with financial expert Fulufhelani Mashapha to learn how to stay on budget while resisting the urge to indulge in luxury splurges. She said:

"There is no one-size-fits-all answer here, as what may be considered extravagant for some might be entirely affordable for others.

The key is to live within your means—whatever that looks like—and to involve children in the budgeting process for special occasions."

Couple builds slab house

Briefly News reported on a man and woman who chose to build a home for their small family using slabs. The pair of love birds showed the process of building a modern home from the ground up on an empty plot.

The couple's effort to build a home with slabs became a viral hit and amassed over 80,000 likes. They showed off their open-plan kitchen and lounge, as well as the bathroom and bedrooms. Netizens were inspired by the finished product of their simple family home.

SA amazed by small home

Many people were in awe of the small house built with only slabs. A netizen argued that the slab house may not be budget-friendly since slabs cost more than brick on average. Bricks usually cost between R1.95 -R9.50 per brick at Builders, depending on size. Slabs cost R80 per slab, but they come in much bigger pieces that are over one meter in height, and less will be needed to build a house. Read people's comments about the slab home below:
