The video that the woman shared on 16 March 2026 left many people inspired. The woman went into detail about how she went through life without important financial knowledge.
In a video on TikTok by @_thandoo_m_, a lady said that she's married and 23 years old. She met her husband in her early 20s, and he asked her to read a book titled "It's More than Just Money by Witness Mdaka. She said even though she was not eager, he continued to pressure her to read the book until she did. The books helped her to build her credit score, which she avoided because she always bought cash to avoid any debt. The lady said it took her a few months to increase her credit score, and after that, she was asked if she would try to buy her house. The lady was puzzled because she earned less than R10,000, and he showed her that she was able to qualify for a mortgage even with her small salary. The lady said thanks to our husband, she became a homeowner at the tender age of 22. Watch the video below.

"Hi sis, congrats on your achievements, wishing more life, money, happiness and a healthy marriage 🥰. If I'm not being too personal, sis, can I please ask where you buy property? Is it in the township or the burbs? And what were the deciding factors for you to choose that property? I really want to invest in property as well."
