The youngster shared the news that she made around R16K and was excited to start budgeting. She shared a now-viral TikTok video of how she covers her bills with her monthly salary.
The youngster took out a book where she sections all of her money into different categories:
“I just got paid R16,000 from one of my jobs. Here's how I budget it this September: bills, WiFi, car expenses, savings, gym, food, and some fun money. Working 3 jobs from home has taught me that managing your money is just as important as earning it.”
