The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap

The Fat Wallet Show is a show about questions. It"s about admitting that we don"t know everything, but that we"re willing to learn. Most of all, it"s about understanding as much as we can to make us all better investors. Phrases like, "I"m not sure" or, "Let me look that up and get back to you" or, "I don"t know" don"t exist in the financial services industry. If you ever had a financial question you were too embarrassed to ask, you know what we"re talking about. In this business, appearances

#127: Podcast: Five concepts that will make you rich...

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/11/18

Kristia is on holiday, so we're rebroadcasting this very important show from May 2017 - the five concepts to make you rich. No show next week. ====== My biggest frustration in learning about the financial world is the expectation that I should understand concepts that nobody ever explained to me. A part of the reason why I got into so much debt is because I didn’t fully understand how interest applied to my financial situation. The other part of the reason is stupidity.

#126: Money and family

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/11/11

Sorting out money between partners can be fraught, but it's a walk in the park compared to parents and siblings. We spend our formative years trying to secure the love and acceptance of the very people who we now have to say "no" to, which is why we are Money Enemy Number One. Your best chance at success is substituting emotions for numbers. If you are the person your family looks to for financial support (and you have no moral objections to helping out), the first number you should care about is

#125: The car show

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/11/04

I had barely landed my first job when I bought a car. I had no deposit, no idea how interest worked and did whatever it took to get wheels. Thankfully my mother had recently bought a car exactly like mine. I assumed that I couldn’t afford anything bigger. In retrospect I probably could have gotten away with a much fancier car. Thank goodness for my own stupidity. I agreed to pay a fixed interest rate of 16.01%, paid the bare minimum instalment the entire time and ended up paying R138,527.46 for a

#124: Should we care about the bear?

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/10/28

The world has gone mad with talk of a bear market. As someone whose experience of a bull market has to do with how much bullshit it is that the market makes money, facing a bear market seems especially unfair. In this episode we discuss what a bear market is, what it would look like in my portfolio and what I can possibly do about it. Win of the week is Kay, for being a Fat Wallet Community superstar and for taking charge big time. I'm stuck on tax. I don't understand it, I'm terrified of it. I'm a

#123: What even is the stock market?

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/10/21

There’s nothing intuitive about the stock market. Most of what we discuss on this show relies on a basic grasp of the stock market, which is possibly asking too much. Every year I learn something new about the market. When I do, I get this horrible sense that everyone else already knew that and thinks me dumb for not knowing it. Sound familiar? An email from Antoine made me realise we’ve never really devoted an episode to how the stock market works. This is one for your bookmarks folder. Here’s what

#122: Quality of life vs saving

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/10/14

I blame the advertising industry for the idea that living a good life is somehow related to money. Much as I make my living thinking and talking about money, money for its own sake is pretty useless. Back in the bad old debt days, I tried to use money to make me happy. That not only landed me in trouble, it also didn’t work. When a friend sent me the Guardian article I talk about in this week’s episode, I had bad money days flashbacks. As Kay pointed out in the community group, the woman's language

#121:What's next for my money?

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/10/07

It took just over two years to pay back my debt. Debt servicing became such a part of my lifestyle that I was completely unprepared for the last payment. I knew, on some theoretical level, what I wanted to do with my money once the debt was gone. However, a part of me thought it would never happen. I was worried about debt for so many years that I wasn’t prepared for the day I didn’t have any. It was disorienting. In this episode, we try to prepare you for the next phase of your money that is

#120: Your bonus is evil

2018/09/30

Expecting a large amount of money for months on end can only make you crazy. I’ve never been paid a bonus, so I’ve never had to endure months of spending and re-spending the same amount of money. Just thinking about it makes me antsy. Nothing sane can come of it. This week, we talk about the dangers of spending money before you receive it.

#119: What to do while you wait for the market

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/09/23

Since my first investment in Mach 2014, the market has done nothing. Inflation, on the other hand, has done enough. My time in the market is making me progressively poorer. I don’t care for it. In this episode, Simon and I discuss what we can do while the market does nothing. It’s awful, but it does provide a bit of breathing room to pad that emergency fund, figure out how different asset classes behave in different market conditions and really delve into sector exposure in a portfolio. It’s also a

#118: Inheriting a fortune

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/09/16

I liked the idea of doing a podcast on inheriting a large sum of money. I’ve dreamed about that kind of good fortune many times, as I’m sure you have. I hope this episode allows you to daydream about the kind of life you would lead if someone left you a small fortune. (Hopefully someone you’ll miss fondly, but not deeply. It’s hard to be happy about anything with a broken heart.) I’ve said this before, but the most important question you ever have to answer about your money is, “What do I want my

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/09/09

It is the job of a salesperson to convince you you can't live without the thing they're selling. This is as much true in personal finance as in consumer products. If engaging with your money scares you too much, your only hope is finding someone whose approach to your money happens to be legitimate, effective and affordable. If you hope to manage your own money, collecting information on the best thing to do with your money is also tricky. If you ask someone with a vested interest in a product, they

#116: Investing for your parents

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/09/02

A friend recently discovered a financially dependent parent had a huge amount of credit card debt. This revelation turned the dinner table conversation to the financial health of our parents. Of the seven of us, only two weren’t worried about their parents’ financial future. Naturally we proceeded to drink heavily. I find it much harder to speak to family members about money than to anyone else. Our parents managed to raise functional, financially secure members of society. After that significant

#115: Tips and tricks for buying a home

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/08/26

It’s finally done. I’ve submitted the offer, the owner accepted it. Pending the approval of my home loan, I’ve bought a house. The process has been dreadful and not one I’d like to repeat. I’m very sensitive to where my money goes and what I’d like it to do in the future. Making a decision involving hundreds of thousands of rands was never going to be easy. The worst part was not knowing whether I could trust the information I was getting. It’s a negotiation between a buyer and a seller, mediated

#114: The Zack One Lap Index

The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap ·

2018/08/19

Lesegisha once again showed us the error of our ways. In a last-minute attempt, he managed to save the Listener Love Index from pure obliteration. Here’s his argument: Although it’s been down 5% on average and around 10% lately, it’s still a good example of diversification considering how far down Pallinghurst and Steinhoff have been. Shares like Kumba that are up by really healthy margins are a good testament that there are also some good picks, which easily could’ve been missed. My main qualm

Who gets it? How do companies deal with shares in their books? We talk about the mechanics of buying a share. We discuss the differences between the primary and secondary markets for shares, where the concept of share buying came from and how shares get from person to person. It’s fascinating! Thanks very

This is true for old school retirement and financial independence, as Alistair Hennessey’s question illustrates this week. He and his wife have sold everything to live their somewhat odd dream of following winter around. (We strongly discourage this abnormal behaviour.) They’re both in their 30s and lucky enough to

I’ve had a cold winter and I’m finally accepting I didn’t turn out to be a jetsetter who lives in luxury hotels around the world. Clearly, this isn’t a financial decision, but it doesn’t mean I can’t be smart about what I’m doing. Here’s what I have so far: I’m looking in the price range of what I’m currently paying in rent in an (almost certainly futile) attempt to contain my cost of

This week Dr. Woofington Von Barkshire wants to know if we think it’s a good idea to spend money on an expensive wedding when you have debt and not very much money. We don’t.

Some examples: “He made all his money from property.” “They made all their money from GNLD.” “He made all his money from farming.” The phrase also goes the other way, except this time it’s true. “They lost all their money when their business failed.” “He lost all his money in property.” “They lost

Crushed under the weight of debt and desperate to get out, a younger, dumber version of me would often resolutely put money away - either toward debt repayments or honest-to-goodness cash. As often, I would have to cover some unexpected financial event (some more legitimate than others) and my resolution would dissolve. Eventually I’d accept I’m bad at saving and give up. It was easier than living with
