First Time Investment Advice

Was this financial advisor tied to any particular banks/products?

Considering you are planning on buying a house in less than 5 years, what exactly did this financial adviser advise you to do?

1.Save 10 cents from every R1 you earn. If you put away at least 10 percent of your income as part of a long-term savings plan, there is a good chance that you will have a financially secure future and be able to attain your financial goals.

2. Put 10 percent of every pay increase towards savings, particularly long-term savings such as a retirement plan. If you are employed and belong to a retirement fund, your contributions will increase automatically in proportion to your pay rises. This will help ensure that you stay well ahead of inflation.

3. Use the “Can I sleep?” judgment when making investments. An investment is too risky if you are going to lie awake at night worrying about it.

No he was not tied to any bank/product. He was independant.
