A husband and wife named Drikus and Chantal live in Empangeni. They both have jobs—he teaches children at school, and she helps people as an occupational therapist. They have found clever ways to share their money and enjoy life.

They split their bills. Drikus pays the house rent, and Chantal buys all the food. Each month, they save R300 to spend on fun things like eating at restaurants. Sometimes, they keep this money to buy bigger things they want.

Chantal wants to help other couples with money. She tells them not to borrow money from credit cards or take loans they can't pay back. She says putting away small amounts of money each month helps people buy nice things later. She believes couples should talk about money often to help them reach their dreams together.

John Manyike teaches people about money at Old Mutual. He says couples become better at saving when they talk about what they want to buy. Some couples want to own a house, travel somewhere nice, or save money for when they stop working. He tells couples to be honest about any money they owe. They can decide if they want to pay their bills alone or together.

Mr. Manyike says couples should make plans about their money together. He wants them to talk about money often and check if their plans work. He believes couples who work as a team with their money live better lives together.
