Case Study

• After working out the numbers you figure that you can buy a car for about R2200/month. 

(Excluding maintenance, insurance, running costs etc.)

Page 8: Finding Financial Freedom

That means that you could finance:

• A car for R100 000

Page 9: Finding Financial Freedom

That means that you could finance:

• A car for R100 000 • @ 11% 

Page 10: Finding Financial Freedom

That means that you could finance:

• A car for R100 000 • @ 11% • Over 60 months (5 years) 

Page 11: Finding Financial Freedom

That means that you could finance:

• A car for R100 000 • @ 11% • Over 60 months (5 years) • Monthly payment of R2174

Page 12: Finding Financial Freedom

That means that you could finance:

• A car for R100 000 • @ 11% • Over 60 months (5 years) • Monthly payment of R2174• You pay R30 455 in interest.

Page 13: Finding Financial Freedom

OR - You could finance:

• A car for R50 000 • @ 11% • Over ??? months (v 5 years) • Same monthly payment of R2174• You pay ??? in interest.

Because you have learnt to save...

• You then save your R2174 for the remaining 37 months @ 5% = R87 136.

Page 16: Finding Financial Freedom

Because you have learnt to save...

• You then save your R2174 for the remaining 37 months @ 5% = R87 136.

• (Actual savings could be even higher if you had placed this money in your bond, should you have one.)

Let’s assume at least 50% depreciation in tradable value over the 5 years.

• R100 000 option: After 60 months you have a car to trade in @ R50 000

• R100 000 option: After 60 months you have a car to trade in @ R50 000

• R50 000 option: After 60 months you have a car to trade in @ R25 000 and R87 136 saved for a total of R112 136

• For the exact same monthly expense you have a 124% improvement!

For the boffins...

• Where interest rates go up the advantage will become even greater.

Page 21: Finding Financial Freedom

For the boffins...

• Where interest rates go up the advantage will become even greater.

• While maintenance may be more, this is somewhat offset by lower insurance.

• While maintenance may be more, this is somewhat offset by lower insurance.

• If the 5 year depreciation is more than 50%, which is not unlikely, the percentage improvement of “option B” would be even greater.

It is not a Trick

• It is nothing less than a lifestyle choice shaped by your values!
