Who am I? My name is Pieter Marx de Villiers and I’m just an ordinary guy from South Africa who aims to retire by the age of 35 years. Follow me in my journey towards Financial Freedom in (hopefully) just a 10 year period! 🙂
This channel will aim to help you achieve your personal financial goals through the things I’ve learned (mostly through my own mistakes) and researched to improve my own financial health.
Let’s face it, school did not teach us much about managing our money properly and seeing that there are SO many financial traps that we are destined to step into if we are not careful, I want to make you aware of these potholes, how you can avoid them and how you can get out of them if you are already trapped.
