My biggest fear about our generation is the lack of community.
Earlier this year my grandmother passed and I watched an entire village come together to help with the proceedings. There were women who brought their massive pots and cooking utensils while the men brought chairs, tents and tables and also offered much needed hands. I genuinely couldn’t believe how many people showed up. People were even cooking throughout the night. No matter how much you may think you’ve prepared for a funeral, it’s never enough especially in the village. It made me realize that such things wouldn’t necessarily happen in urban areas.
Many young people just choose to live in complete isolation. Some don’t even know their own neighbours and it makes you wonder who will stand beside them when the inevitable occurs.
Force power off immediately (hold power button) to stop it.
2. Turn it back on and spam F11 / Shift + Restart (or let it fail boot 3 times) to enter Windows Recovery.
3. In Recovery:
• Try Startup Repair first.
• Then System Restore if available.
• Or go to Command Prompt and run: chkdsk C: /f /r
4. If the drive is already wiped → create Windows 11 USB installer on another PC, boot from it, and reinstall Windows.
If all this fails everything is most likely gone

TFSA crosses 900k
This is what ETFs can do for you
No cash (coz a cash TFSA wont beat inflation)
No Unit Trusts (coz I don’t like paying high fees for average returns)
No individual shares or Crypto (not allowed inside a TFSA)
No Forex, no Ponzi
I started with R500 per month 8 years ago, then increased the amount to R3k per month in my Tax Free Investment account. That R3k per month is now close to R500k. It looks like alot now but the monthly contributions have never exceeded R3k per month
This older car salesman at the dealership told me he was divorced, had no kids, and that his ex-wife was a model back in the day who didn’t want children because she didn’t want to ruin her figure. He had a sister, but she passed away. His parents have also passed away, and he doesn’t visit Chicago, his hometown, anymore because all his relatives are gone.
He was in his late 60s and had regrets about not having children, which also means no grandchildren or great grandchildren. He has no nieces or nephews. I stopped asking questions because I started to feel bad for him.
Children are a lot of work but it extends your family. I love being an aunty, a mom, and a sister, and I really can’t wait to be a grandma. I wouldn’t want to do life alone in my 60s.
He is right though?
If you contribute to an RA separate from your work one, you’ll decrease your taxable income and get a refund (PAYE paid by your employer will be higher than the SARS assessed amount).
You want to know why he looked better when he started lifting 3x a week?
It’s because in between his lifting sessions, there’s breaks. And during those breaks, he’s body is resting and repairing the worked out and “torn” muscles.
The worked out and “torn muscles” repair themselves by adding an extra layer of muscle to further strengthen that targeted area. This gradually happens over a period of time and is often not immediate sha.
Rest days are important if you work out. They as important as lifting and dieting.
You must NEVER sign any contract or OTP & You must NEVER leave the Dealership/Seller without seeing this Original Document ‼️
This Document is the Identity Document of a Car. It’s called an RC1 Vehicle Registration Certificate. We have attached a Used and a Built Up RC1.
The STATUS column for a Used car must state USED and not BUILT UP, if it states BUILT UP is means your car is a Code 3 for a Brand New Car it will state NEW.
Many are driving cars that are Used thinking they are New and some are driving Code 3/ Built-Up thinking they are Used 😔 Built up Cars if not accompanied with evidence of why it was Built Up often have a very low value compared to market value. The assumption then is it was a write off, in some cases it may not be. BE CAREFUL !!
We hope this will help many figure out the true status of their car.

A friend I am no longer in touch with just got married. I know this because a classmate of ours posted a story. Now going from one story to other, I saw 10-15 of my classmates profiles and what they are upto.
It’s been half an hour of me doing it and ten minutes of me thinking about how surprising life is. We have shared seats, lunches, homework and have solved equations together and now it’s been more than 10 years since I have even said a hi to any of them.
I feel so happy for him (seems like he married the love of his life) but it feels so weird to see him on that stage as if he wasn’t just a 15 year old boy fighting with the teacher for that one extra marks.
I still remember all of those classmates as those teenagers who were so clueless about life. Life is crazy!
If you are age 20–26 and you just graduated from college or university, let me tell you this from my own perspective.
I do not see graduation as arrival. I see it as exposure. School gave you structure, but life will now demand direction. When the timetable disappears and things feel confusing, I want you to know that it is normal. What matters is how you respond in this phase.
I do not believe your degree is your identity. To me, it is proof that you can commit, learn, and finish something. Outside school, the world will not test your certificates. It will test how useful you are, how fast you can learn, and how consistent you can show up.
I always advise using this stage to build leverage. Learn practical skills. Work even when the pay is small. Ask questions without pride. Make mistakes now, because the cost of failure is cheaper in your early twenties. A slow start at 23 is far better than pretending to be successful at 30.
I also warn against comparison. Some of your mates will look far ahead, others will seem stuck. Most of what you see is noise. I focus on experience, not impressions, and I advise you to do the same. Long-term winners often look ordinary at the beginning.
I take money seriously at this stage. I tell young graduates not to inflate their lifestyle. Your first income is not for enjoyment alone. It is for positioning yourself properly. Save, invest in learning, and keep your spending boring.
Above all, I protect my mindset. This season shapes how you think about work, failure, and patience. If you build discipline now, the next ten years become easier.
I do not think you are late. I believe this is the time to build quietly.
