Ruzanne van Beulen was a participant in the Money fo' sho training, scheduled on 14 April 2025. She suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis and is currently operating in a wheelchair. One of the highlights for her was when she realized that at her passing away, the house will be going to her husband as they are married within community of property. She understood the importance of having an updated will that will speak on her behalf regarding her assets. The session on wants and needs and budgeting was also very intriguing to her. She thoroughly enjoyed the session and participated throughout the training.

Avocado Vision in partnership with Coronation I successfully upskilled 192 participants for financial life skills training program working with local stakeholders. The word budget it's familiar to many but their understand it's not accurate, Ayanda in explaining budget " budget it's when you put money aside to meet the target you Stated for a specific expenses". Some Who attended the session get to understand that budget " It's the plan of the money earned including your expenses and savings", it was a active youth showing enthusiasm towards the program. Some attended modules like: Money safety- Saving and investing, Scams and fraud, Thinking about retirement, my money and the text man and money and believe most of the information was new to many participants. Money and believe turned to debate because of different views in individuals and I concluded by saying " I know we have different believe based on Cultural believe and religious but it is very important to us Money wisely start with you needs, savings then wants. Don't be influenced by your cultural beliefs or religious to spend everything you work hard for and remain with nothing at hand"

Training went extremely well and a lot was discussed on budgeting, savings and investments, but the most critical part was on Credit as the 2 twins Gracious and Gladys Mlambo shared their stories. How has credit impacted their lives due to them relocating to Joburg and had no choice but to buy furniture, clothing and rental on credit, but soon realise that their earnings were not enough to cover their debts and they lost their jobs during covid that made it worse. they are now owing closed to R100 000.00 on credit that they can't repay as they're currently unemployed and live on their parents grants.
