Episode 2 – Money hacks – how to speak to your bank when you are struggling to pay the bills

In the second of a series of Absa/City Press Money Makeover question and answer sessions between Maya Fisher-French and Absa experts, she continues her conversation with Ronnie Mbatsane, Managing Executive, Regional Coverage: Gauteng & Limpopo.

Three months into the Money Makeover Challenge and already the candidates have embraced the challenge to turn around their finances. Fisher-French and Mbatsane unpack how debt repayments can be done better and how to make sure that if you are in trouble you act quickly and are honest with your bank.

While every one of the six contestants – Mpho, Motsei, Sandra, Sanet, Wisani and Zinzy – have different goals to finance, they all had to start in the same place. Each had to create a spending plan and understand their relationship with debt.
