    Doing Your Taxes, Changing Tires & Everything Else School Forgot to Teach Us!

    Adulting is hard, but it is even harder when the school curriculum skips the basics. In this episode of Word on the Street on Afternoons with Zweli, we open up a candid and hilariously relatable conversation about the essential life skills we all wish we had learned in the classroom. Zweli kicks things off by diving into the collective dread of tax season, unpacking the absolute frustration of trying to decipher complex tax laws, regulations, and confusing bank statements. Joined by 947 listeners, the studio takes a deep dive into practical "Adulting 101" gaps from cooking and managing mental health to changing a flat tire and handling basic home maintenance. We look at how introducing these survival skills at a young age could have completely changed the game for us in the real world. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.  Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.   Thank you for listening to an Afternoons with Zweli podcast  Listen live on Primedia+ weekdays from 12:00 to 15:00 (SA Time) to Afternoons with Zweli broadcast on 947 https://www.primediaplus.com/station/947  For more from the show go to https://buff.ly/FeeL6wY or find all the catch-up podcasts here https://buff.ly/pRBikjo  Subscribe to the 947 Weekly Newsletter here https://buff.ly/hf9IuR9  Follow us on social media    947 on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/947Joburg/  947 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@947joburg  947 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/947joburg  947 on X https://x.com/947   947 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@947Joburg  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
