I invest my money in my own companies and myself, why take chances with other people who dont have "your" best interest at heart. They dabble your money and take chances, i hear of too many people complaining about years of investments only paying out what they put in. I could be wrong, but from personal experience, i dont trust anyone anymore not even the "safe" blue and green companies. I lost a lot of money trusting a broker with the green company.

Once my last installment goes through for my vehicle in 2 months time, i plan on saving the money i pay towards the vehicle in a pure save then once it gets to a reasonable amount (R100 000) , i might expand one of my hobbies into a bigger operation or just go bigger on my contracting company.

I have considered buying property, but with the amount of empty buildings and hassles with getting rent out of people and all the restricitions, i think not. My last house, it took almost a year to get a family off the property and there was a klittle pushing involved and not even that worked, just too mnay laws protecting people renting, not even going into the electricity and water bills.
