Just remember, you always have the option to just help without expecting anything in return.
But we also have the option of doing so while mutually enjoying the process! (not expecting, just enjoying)

Here's a radical idea.
If you have extra money that you would normally have used for punting, and you are genuinely concerned about the well being of an SP you know, how about just give it to her/him?
I understand all the talk about contracts and pay before you use etc, and if it works for some then all good.
Just remember, you always have the option to just help without expecting anything in return.
I have sent money abroad to SP that I had a real connection with.. Knowing that I may see them again in a few years.. Or never.
If I had a regular here in SA I would be helping her with small things.. Be it cash or groceries.. Without expecting much in return but good companionship (that you pay for) when it was possible to do so.
To have a SP that really cares for the help you give her and makes you feel wanted is an experience that is unsurpassed in my view.
But alas.. Never punted here and got no regular that I know well enough to not think I was being taken advantage of.

R8000 rent (average).
R2500 medical aid (children as well)
R2000 (school fees)
R1000 (electricity)
R500 (data)
R3000 (food for family)
R17 000.
This isnt taking into account: car payments, loans, debt, studies, medical, beauty, gym memberships etc.
Even if a SP was earning R20k a month, would be easy to see how hard it would to get some kind of savings going. It's not an easy situation at all.

Very good estimate if a lady cuts everything to the bone.
I could survive on 10 000 if I cut everything except my roof and food(wich will be basics),detergents and higene products.. But that would mean no adds.no hospital plan. No funeral policy.no life insurance.no luxuries at all.
I have all ready opted not to renew 3 other advertising sites. I have cancelled Netflix,ECT. Book club. And few other things. My uncapped internet might also go.( But need that to stay online if I am gonna want to make money online)
Things ain't gonna get easier.

Great breakdown and it shows how hard it is to get life going. With the lock down one would need to make R3k a week to support that. Making it three punters a week. One every second day at R1k for 1 hour.
That has to be doable really.
Still risky. But sleeping on the street is riskier.

Everyone is in the same boat as most of us have these same expenses just to get through the month without the other items you mentioned. . . Hang in there ladies & gentleman
