One area where the strain is showing though, says Global Chief Investment Officer Chris Holdsworth, is in the housing market, where mortgage rates are climbing and applications are falling.

    The AI story has been great for investors so far, but it may be making the Fed feel uncomfortable.

    Property is often seen as one of the more reliable ways to build long-term wealth. It’s tangible, familiar and, for many South Africans, an important part of their financial plan.

    Moves by the US Treasury to intervene in the bond market failed to bring down yields meaningfully, and the continuing worsening of the US’s fiscal position may explain why. According to Chris Holdsworth, Global Chief Investment Officer, Investec Investment Management, the US’s debt-to-GDP ratio is above 100% and seems set to remain above that level, with tax hikes politically unpalatable and little room to cut spending in areas such as defense, healthcare and social security.

    The US Federal Reserve finds itself in a difficult position. The US economy has been shedding jobs, and wage growth is soft. At the same time, says Chris Holdsworth, Global Chief Investment Officer, Investec Investment Management, government debt continues to grind higher while inflation remains elevated, mainly the result of higher energy prices – meaning there’s a chance of rates being hiked in the coming months.

    We've all heard the advice. Save more. Spend less. Start earlier.
    In this episode of Everything Counts, Motheo Khoaripe is joined by Investec's Nirvashni Rajkumar (KZN team leader for the Investec financial planning team) and Dorothy Asomaning (Investec Wealth & Investment Wealth Manager) to explore why saving is about much more than building a bigger bank balance. Together they unpack how lifestyle inflation quietly limits our choices, why earning more doesn't always lead to greater financial freedom, and how giving your money a clear purpose can change the way you think about your future.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    • Why traditional conversations about saving no longer resonate.
    • How lifestyle inflation quietly reduces financial freedom.
    • Why financial freedom is about choice, not income.
    • How to give your savings a meaningful purpose.
    • The realities of saving while supporting family.
    • Why behaviour shapes financial outcomes more than good intentions.
    • The simple question that can change the way you think about saving.
    If you've grown tired of traditional savings advice, this conversation offers a different perspective on what saving is really for.
    Watch now and subscribe for more conversations that prove when it comes to money, everything counts.

    01:20 Has saving lost its meaning?
    04:21 Why saving has become uninspiring
    07:10 Can you accidentally out-earn your freedom?
    08:23 The discipline of saving
    16:40 Lifestyle inflation and financial choice
    15:10 Saving while supporting family
    18:50 What future is your money building?
