Individual Financial wellnessThe sad reality is that many employed South Africans struggle with their finances and the figures are startling:
Statistics show over 9 million (49% of credit active consumers) people in South Africa are living with unhealthy debt.
As a result, they’re unable to meet their monthly debt obligations and are falling into arrears which may lead to repossession of assets and judgements (Blacklisted).
The household debt to income ratio is around 74%, leaving only 26% room for other essential expenses. This means out of every R10, R7.40 goes to servicing credit! This leaves the household with only R2.60 for transport, food, school fees and other basic expenses – considering the forever escalating cost of living, this is not a good picture at all and most households find themselves trapped in this circle.
