As we head into National Savings Month in July, Thembeka Khumalo of Satrix joined The Finance Ghost to talk about an incredibly important element of personal finance: investing for minor children. Minor children tend to have major expenses, making it difficult for parents to strike a balance between monthly expenses and the need to save. Thembeka has three-year-old twins and the Ghost also has a three-year-old, so this podcast comes from the heart. Topics included: The importance of diligent investing on behalf of your children Why the power of compounding could be the best gift you ever give your children The concept of risk and how starting earlier helps in mitigating this issue The use of tax-free savings accounts as an investment vehicle for minors and the pros and cons thereof The SatrixNOW platform as a tool for parents to save for their kids (and themselves!)
