Buy a House or a Car First? The Truth Social Media Doesn't Want You to Hear

Have you ever wondered whether you should buy a house first or a car first? This video goes far beyond that debate. As I make Sunday pancakes and chat with you, we dive into one of the biggest financial traps affecting young Africans today—social media pressure.
