1 December 2015 10:40 AM

Finance journalist Maya Fischer-French says that when starting a savings plan for your child, you need to be realistic about what your goals are.

Often people say I don’t have money to save but you can save thousands of rands by doing certain things differently.
— Maya Fischer-French, Finance Journalist

Just start with the basics; just R300 a month and forget about it. One day you will open up the (bank) statement and be surprised.
