Debt review is a formal process where a debt counselor negotiates with creditors on your behalf to restructure payments. Consolidation gives you more control, while debt review provides legal protection but restricts credit access.

Financial experts recommend saving 3-6 months' worth of essential living expenses in an emergency fund. Start with a smaller goal of R5,000-R10,000, then build toward covering your major expenses like rent, utilities, food, and debt payments for several months. This fund provides crucial financial security during unexpected situations.
