Project "Yonga Leyo Mali"

Creative Breed, I am glad to say that project YLM is under way. Before I go on, let me explain.

As we all know, I put myself through the wire for eight months right? However like I said, it wasn’t all bad, there was a lot of groove involved, yesss. Now there came a point in time when hindsight and introspection pulled me in  to take heed my spending patterns as I had zero savings and just felt like it was impossible ( to save that is). 

After having looked at my bank statements I realised that it was those R56.60, R75.24 and R98.12s that were killing me. Because somehow I sold myself the lie that if the bill is under a R100.00 or a little over like R112.10 it’s okhay. BULL!!!! Luckily Mosima felt the same way and this is how project “yonga leyo mali” which means “save that money” has begun.

Obviously we needed a plan of action, a great one! This plan had to cater for our like for things and love for life... In order to avoid FOMO,you need to be doing something that’s much more fulfilling of course?

We both love to cook,bake,read,sip play games etc. and so naturally the great indoors have become our biggest ally in this quest. Mosima is saving for a trip to London and at the moment I’m getting into the habit before I start working again...

Today was the first day. (We want to focus on days like Thursday’s and Friday’s which are most tempting to spend gwop for us). It went so well, I had a really great time,I’m fed, nicenyana via the “saint” and feel good enough to wake up and do something constructive in the morning.

 Now don’t fret, I’m still gonna bring the great discoveries of Macebisa’s wondering eye, just in a more balanced way maybe? My camera wanted to live its own life again, but here are some snaps . Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday night.
