I am certain this was on purpose. How many times have South African made noise about how they are represented on TV, only to have a big show make a move like this?

Buying a house is something plenty of people look forward to. For many, it's a big step to independence and financial freedom. Unfortunately, buying a home to live in will probably not turn out to be a good investment when you consider the return you get for the money you spent. That's doesn't mean it's a bad idea to purchase a home though, but it's important to realise when it is actually an investment as I have come across people who will dump all their money towards buying a home, assuming that it is also a good way to invest their money. In this video, we walk through an example of a typical young adult who wants to purchase a home to live in. Timeline

I have been using this Asus TUF a15 Gaming Laptop for about 5 months now. It's currently the cheapest gaming laptop when you compare the specs it comes with (it's the cheapest GTX 1660 ti laptop for starters) and a beast of a CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 4800H). I've enjoyed using it thus far and here is my review. Timeline

I have been considering getting a DStv subscription lately due to the amount of time I've been spending indoors now. I miss watching sports and the news (yep I have become that adult who loves the news now). but good lord what a bad service DStv has become. Gone are the days where DStv used to the only place to get good quality entertainment (you know when HD was once a a thing). Not only is it now insanely expensive, but there is much less variety available, not to mention the REPEATS!! Intro - 00:00

You should probably accept the offer... Following up from last week's video, what if you are job hunting and get a good offer from Company A, but you have also been interviewing for Company B which is a better opportunity and you are very confident that you did well. Ideally you want to have all the offers on the table and then make a decision, but it's rarely this straight forward in the real world. In the real world you will likely have offers coming in at different times and at some point you may have to decide to accept an offer you already have, or wait for a better offer to come through. When making your decisions, you need to do what is best for you and your career. You should always keep this in mind when job hunting. You know your own scenario better than someone else out there. Can you afford to reject that offer and wait for another one that might not even come through? What if you end up jobless? You can always accept the offer and continue your search for a better job later. What ever you do, try not to be a jerk 😀 About trying2adult: My name is Tino and shortly after I got out of varsity, I quickly realised that adulting was the ghetto.

I have a job offer but I'm waiting for a better offer. What must happen?

There will come a time in your career where, hopefully, you will be presented with more than one job offer and you have to decide which one to go for. Early on in your career, you might only focus on the salary. After all, you have spent so much time and energy to study and develop skills in order to get a job that pays good money. This was the case for me but after spending some time in the industry now, I've come to appreciate other factors when considering a job offer and in this video, we are going to go through some of these.

It's hard to say no to free money and credit cards claim to be able to give you free money through their rewards systems and other perks and benefits like discounts on Uber and plane tickets, free travel insurance, etc. In this video, we go through some of these rewards systems to see if they are worth it.

Announcement.

The @OneSA_Movement calls for an urgent #CabinetReshuffle and we specifically call for these the top six ministers of underperformance to be removed from the cabinet.

South Africa can’t afford to keep underperforming ministers any longer.

Ben Roberts-Smith and the war crimes allegations are rightly receiving attention, but we shouldn't let the fact go by that officers and senior soldiers partied alongside a burning cross and accepted a colleague dressed in KKK robes. It's beyond abhorrent and demands consequences.
