Shampoonizer on growing up ekasi and the money lessons nobody taught him
Loading player...
Growing up ekasi teaches you plenty about life. You learn about style, cars, street smarts and how to fit in. But when it comes to understanding money, who's there to show you the ropes?
In this episode of On the Money, comedian and dancer Shampoonizer joins Old Mutual’s Financial Education team, to reflect on growing up in the township, where there were plenty of life lessons to learn, but little guidance on how to handle money the smart way.
From discovering just how quickly money can disappear, to navigating financial terms like 'equity' that everyone seems to throw around but few understand, Shampoonizer brings his trademark humour to a serious issue – the lack of financial education that leaves many young South Africans having to figure things out for themselves.
It's a funny, yet honest and insightful conversation about the money lessons we sometimes have to learn the hard way, and why understanding the language of money is such an important first step towards making better financial decisions.
On the Money is Old Mutual’s financial education podcast, where public figures and everyday people share their real stories about money – the good, the bad, and the unexpected.
