You’re scrolling on social media and notice a friend raving about a limited offer luxury holiday package they got their hands on. Feeling a bit left out that you didn’t see this half-price deal, you click on the picturesque image that accompanied the original advert. You see there are now just three spots left, and that 8 other people are looking! Excited, you open your weather app to see what clothes you should pack for this unexpected break. It’s clearly not the best time of year to visit that city. And the hotel is located far from the key attractions. You realise the unseen truth is that it may end up costing a lot more than the all-inclusive price tag implies. And in any case, you haven’t budgeted for an overseas holiday this year...

July is National Savings Month and Coronation is encouraging South Africans to save more in the true sense... by putting money aside every month instead of spending it. Are we saving in the true sense of the word? Or are we simply spending disguised as saving? Gareth, Phumi and Siya explore how easy it is to fall into the trap of spending money on something we don’t even need out of impulse or for convenience. If you put away any extra money – in the long term, it really can make a lifetime of difference. The real saving is in NOT buying discounted items that you don’t actually need.
