The taxi rank
Transport is the line item that creeps. Most commuters never see the month’s total until it’s gone.
Taxi fare, school fees, the Saturday braai and the retirement you keep meaning to look at. MaxWealth turns the household money we all juggle into one clear picture, in Rand.
Five moments most South Africans know. Each one is a money decision — and each one has a MaxWealth tool that makes it clearer.
Transport is the line item that creeps. Most commuters never see the month’s total until it’s gone.
Saturday is for people, not spreadsheets. Plan the fun in, so it isn’t the thing you feel guilty about on Monday.
Fees, uniforms, transport and the tuck-shop money. The costs are shared by every kind of family on that pavement.
Bread and airtime round the corner, the big shop at month-end. Wherever you buy, the question is the same: what is left after the groceries?
Rice and curry, a roast, pap and chakalaka — often all on one table. Three generations, and a quiet question underneath: will the older ones be all right, and will we?
No jargon, no sales call, no assumption about who you are. Just your numbers, a clear verdict and one next step.
See where every Rand goes — fares, groceries, family, fun — and what is left at month-end.

Income, the big monthly costs and who depends on you. Rough numbers are fine.
On track, behind but fixable, or needs attention — in plain words, not a wall of charts.
One change that moves the verdict most. Come back next month and see if it worked.
MaxWealth is for every South African household — whatever language you dream in and whoever sits at your table on Sunday.
