Two children, six years apart: how much and where do I save for their education?
Given the short timeline for the older child, it would not be advisable to take an aggressive approach by investing in equities

Q: I have two schoolgoing children, one in grade 10 and the other in grade 4. I feel I may have left it too late, but desperately need to put money away for their education. How much do I need to save and what are the savings options? At the moment I only have R1,000 to spare a month but considering that university is just around the corner for my eldest, I feel this may not be enough. Can you please advise? — Lieb Ohlson, via e-mail.
