WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON.

I will tell you

The average punter simply don't have the disposable income anymore as in the past, that's the bottom line !!!

A punt or two weekly in the past, became a punt or two in a month, if you are still lucky !!!

The worst are sadly still to come. What is the solution then .. I haven't got a flippen clue :((((

True story. For the first time in my life I am literally living month to month, disposable cash is a thing of the past. Working from home, exorbitant electricity and fuel prices, everything going up by 10-15% while my income hasn't even budged much upwards in the last 18 months.. it's so completely effed up!
Besides covid the thieves and rogues running this country have made it even worse for many of us trying to get by...
So sadly, my punting budget is just drained...

And to make matters worse.
The AA predicts the petrol price to be R20 a litre next month.

Many ladies running specials. But I think its just not working out. Guys don't have spare cash.

I spoke to a lady and after giving her rates, she asked. How much you have. Any little will help pay the rent.

We all have to face the reality, South Africa has been in financial crisis long before COVID ... COVID just highlighted how weak our economy is and how corruption has devastated and continues to destroy what we define as an "economy".

I also hope things change out there for some. Some people are better off financially and other worse. Must be the industries, might be that people in smaller communities are better off than before. Less office work and more work from home. (the guy that used work in jhb but lived in koster, might now just work from home).

There was a discussion " winter is coming". It is only the first slightly coldish evenings. Winter still to arrive.
If you have any savings, move it offshore. It is not welcome here, unless you want to give it to corrupt, incompetent people only caring about the elite.

Lets see if 1 Nov brings hope. But not holding my breath. You after all get the government you deserve.

Like @Boobs said it's all about disposable income and it's getting scarcer. Punters are more discerning and looking for a quality experience.. No bullshitters or scammers.. So how you conduct yourself on the forum, your reviews all help in our decision-making. I personally don't go for online content, there's enough free stuff out there..
