● Pot 2: Long-Term Investments: This pot holds your money for future growth. It’s where you save for bigger life goals, such as retirement, buying a home, or your children's education. The focus here is on investments that will grow over time, even if it means they aren't immediately accessible.
The Two-Pot System isn't just about dividing your money, it’s about creating a financial strategy that works now and for the future. Here are some of the benefits:
