T-Thunder a lot of people have their tax free savings with EE as the costs are just so low. It was always my recommendation. I'm changing that now though, not because I don't think the money is safe there (I do) but because ABSA stockbrokers now offers tax free savings accounts at 0.2%. I've already put my money into EE for this year, but next years batch will go to ABSA stockbrokers, unless someone else offers less than 0.2%...
And welcome to Lamak, hopefully Mr_Dividend will pipe up here, he does exactly that, earns all his income from dividends. I've recently been buying the divtrx fund myself to get growth and higher dividends, there's a discussion here if you're interested: shareforum.co.za/shares/coreshares-dividend-aristocrats-etfsp-sa-dividends-aristocrat/
I'm sure a few more people will pipe up here with more advice.
