Woman shares saving secret with Briefly News

Molted Shubane told Briefly News when they started saving.

"My partner and I started the savings last year around May using a 2-litre bottle, and towards the end of 2022, we decided to change the bottle to the 5-litre one and challenged ourselves to fill it up by May this year. We were late by just a month because it was completely full in June 2023. So it took us over a year to save R10840, excluding the gold coins," she said.

"The first thing we did to keep us from spending the money was eliminate any temptations, and that's why the bottle was wrapped. No matter how broke we would get, we could not see how much we had in the bottle. We were inspired by the fact that 2022 we planned to go on a vacation together without using our official bank savings, and the location would depend on the amount saved."
