Editor’s Thoughts.

Roses are red, Tariffs are due, When it comes to both, EBnet’s got you.

Please forgive the Ed for her poor poetry skills – let’s just say I’m out of Valentine’s Day practice. We’re talking love and tariffs today – probably (mutually) exclusive. Starting with love. I wasn’t surprised to learn that just under half of married couples admit to arguing about money at some point.  I thought I’d find some experts to help you (me) navigate this (sometimes difficult) topic. Rita Cool (Alexforbes) and Caty Naudé (Ascor Independent Wealth Managers) share their experiences on EBnet Stream and give tips on how to deal with many of the common difficult conversations that couples encounter. Who pays the bill on the first date – turns out may be a big deal.

Lize de la Harpe (Sanlam) shares the legal implications of being married vs choosing to live together. This is one of those issues where even if you choose to do nothing, you’re still making a decision.

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is impacting the world around us. I chatted to Izak Odendaal (Old Mutual Wealth) yesterday around the implications of tariffs (and the possibility of sanctions) on retirement fund investments (EBnet Stream). Grab a cup of coffee and listen to this industry expert unpack exactly what tariffs and sanctions are, and the likely scenarios that may unfold.
