About this listen

Money Smart Week 2025 is here, and if there was ever a time to face your finances head on, it is now.

In this episode of The Education Show, we sit down with Reagan Mitchell, founder of WealthyMe, to unpack the realities of financial literacy in South Africa. From the shock of under delivering pension funds to the trap of debt that swallows more than 60% of household income, Reagan lays bare the challenges and the opportunities of taking control of your money.

We cover:

  • Why financial literacy is the missing subject in most classrooms

  • The dangers of easy credit and South Africa’s low savings culture

  • How to start planning for retirement (yesterday was best, but today still works)

  • Myths about financial advisors being “only for the rich”

  • Practical first steps for teachers, parents and young professionals

Money may not buy happiness, but ignorance will certainly cost you. This conversation is about shifting from survival mode to building long term security.
