The untold cost of loadshedding (rolling blackouts) in South Africa.

Part 2.

[Thread]
Could loadshedding cause rating agencies to frown upon us?

The outlook is bleak and it seems loadshedding will be with us for the foreseeable future.

Someone once, incorrectly, said credit ratings are as irrelevant as the shape of one’s ear.

1. Pay off high interest debt

With interest rates going up, make sure you kill your high interest debt first with any surplus money you might have.

This reduces your interest payments.

See a practical example of how to be debt free;

2. Try and have an emergency fund.
