Dezemba Took All Your Randelas? How To Make The Cents Make Sense

1

Chomi, Dezemba e tlhotlhorile dipokoto? Randelas gone! Go setse dinepe fela? Yhoo moghel, I get that it can be super painful because what the heck, what the heck, what the heck??? 🔫 shoot my hair 😭😭😭.

Okay if your January zaka has you worried, let's figure it out:

  • What are your needs
  • What are your wants
  • If you have savings

Are you going back to school, college or university? Do you need to fund your own transport there? Chomi, if you have the ability to walk to school without go idibala, you should totally do that. It saves money and gets your daily exercise in. Same, if you have a bicycle you could ride to campus. Ask your friends, maybe you could start a walking group- cos there's safety in numbers. All the laughs and catching up to and from school? Can somebody say fun?

Do you need data? Wi-Fi? The local library is a great place to access free Wi-Fi. While you're getting all your projects and assignments done, you can also find great ideas for side hustles. Amagwinya, stoksweets, sunglasses, lip gloss- anything. Cos the girlies gotta eat, girlies gotta snack and the girlies always gotta look good.

Or if you would rather get yourself month long data with the little zaka you have left and skip the library, then etsa yalo. Without the rush of finishing at the library you could learn skills from YouTube that can help you make extra cash. There's everything on there: how to do nails, stitch braids, make your own soaps and hair oils… The possibilities are endless!

Maybe Dezemba took all your Randelas because there just weren't all that many. Chomi, let me tell you the challenge you're facing can always offer a solution that can help you and others- if you view it from a different perspective. Now I'm not saying you'll be rich overnight, aowa! Buuuut, I can bet you that with consistent small steps and focus you will have way more Randelas come Dezemba 2026?

So? What's your vibe moghel? Always challenged or game changer?
