@PieterBooy44100 @LCabonena Taught skills for whose benefit? People’s history and skills were lost in oppression. The superiority complex is a problem… why do people think that others had no skills. Their skills were suitable for the life they le.

Somewhere on EasyEquities, there is a 41-year-old with a TFSA worth R1.53 million - built entirely through consistent, disciplined, tax-free investing.

Not a lotto win.
Not a lucky stock pick.
A TFSA.

That could be you. It should be you.

Could YOUR home be in the way of the new Gautrain routes? 🚆

My latest feature is out in Asset Magazine. If you own property anywhere near the proposed Gautrain expansion routes, you might have to move house soon, and most people affected have no idea what's coming or what their rights are.

I sat down with Cor van Deventer from Van Deventer Dowlath and Marx Attorneys to unpack it all. The proposed routes could reach Soweto, Lanseria, Tshwane's eastern suburbs and beyond. Done well, this could do for the next ring of Johannesburg what the original Gautrain line did for Sandton, Rosebank and Midrand.

But if your property falls in the path, here's what I learned:

• Expropriation is a legal process. The State can acquire your property for public infrastructure, but it has to follow a specific, constitutionally governed process and pay you fairly.
• Fair compensation is more than a number. As van Deventer told me, "The Constitution requires a balanced assessment that considers the property's history, its current use and the impact on the owner."
• Most disputes don't actually start with the compensation figure. In his words: "They come from process failures, inadequate notice, unclear explanations of intended use, opaque valuations, or no real opportunity for the owner to respond."
• If you think you're affected? "Waiting until a final notice is issued limits your options significantly," van Deventer warned me. Get independent advice and an independent valuation early.

This expansion is exciting for Johannesburg. But as I write in the piece, "done well" carries real obligations. I'm hoping this becomes a benchmark for how expropriation should be handled, not another story about communities that felt bulldozed by a process meant to serve them.

Dr. Arthur Brooks has spent years studying happiness, meaning, and the habits that make life truly fulfilling.

He makes a powerful case that happiness is not a feeling. It’s something deeper. Something built.

In this episode, @arthurbrooks breaks down the science of happiness and explains why a good life is shaped by the three essential “macronutrients” of enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning. He explains why pleasure alone is not enough, why struggle is necessary for fulfillment, and why many of the things we chase like money, status, comfort, and admiration, can quietly pull us away from what matters most.

We also explore the hidden costs of modern technology, why boredom may actually be essential for reflection and purpose, and why service, beauty, and friendship are core ingredients of a meaningful life. Arthur shares practical ideas throughout, from his “reverse bucket list” to his mood-management protocol, tech hygiene rules, and strategies for avoiding relationship drift in marriage and friendship.

If you want a richer framework for happiness—and practical tools for building more meaning, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling life—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
