Stocks can be more than an umbrella against the storms of age.

How much your pension could be today if you had invested 45 years’ pension contributions in the stock market and why you should take matters into your own hands.
II guessed it. Stocks and Germans just don’t go together. And stocks and bonds? So please, that doesn’t work at all! It is no wonder, therefore, that the share pension, which is to be built up in the coming years in order to stabilize pension insurance contributions, has met with fierce resistance. I’m not going to take a stand for the modernization of statutory pension insurance, because it’s pointless trying to convince those who oppose this idea of the opposite.
Instead, I would like to show you, dear readers, with the help of figures how high your pension could be today if the deposits of the last 45 years had been invested in the stock market. Then the clever heads among you, i.e. the readers of the content of this medium in general and my columns in particular, will quickly realize how worthwhile it is to invest part of your money in shares, loosely based on the motto: If the state does not want to , then I’ll take matters into my own hands. Agreed?
