“Women should work according to their budget. When you get your salary, you should have priorities on what to pay first and spend 15% on yourself,” she says.

Women should keep to a strict financial management system, those were the words from Erika Lotz during the Women’s Month commemoration. “As a woman, you need to spread your finances across and still have a balanced life. Your attitude of how you wake up in the morning determines your success,” she explains. She advised women to be strong-minded and have a soft heart. “Kindness has never left a scar, so be kind to everyone,” she concludes.

All the women who attended the event received a gift bag from FNB, they said that they would treasure and practice what they have learnt.
