One Rand Man starts to shift thinking on money

25 July 2014

Week three of the One Rand Man experiment and the 32-year-old architectural consultant has started paying attention to the detail behind his spending – for the first time ever, he is taking note of the price of items in the supermarket. But now that all major expenses are paid, he’s shocked that there is so little left to live off for the rest of the month.

One Rand Man seeing his budget like never before

21 July 2014

Two weeks into a social experiment by Sanlam for National Savings Month to take a deeper look at our relationship with money, the One Rand Man is finding out.
