Financial literacy—Making better trading decisions with Nicolette Mashile

Why do so many intelligent people still struggle with money—despite years of education? According to the OECD, financial literacy levels remain low globally, with many adults lacking confidence in budgeting, interest, investing, and long-term financial planning.

In this episode, we sit down with Nicolette Mashile (‪@FinancialBunny‬)—entrepreneur, broadcaster, and one of South Africa’s leading voices on financial literacy—to unpack the real reasons people make poor financial decisions.

Nicolette shares the costly money mistakes that changed her perspective on finance forever, why emotional behaviour plays such a huge role in trading and investing, and why schools still fail to teach the financial skills people actually need in the real world.

We also explore trading psychology, money habits, financial education, risk management, trust in trading platforms, and whether successful traders are born with natural ability or shaped through discipline and experience.
