We're going to break it all the way down — step by step, in plain English — until it actually makes sense.
Today's session
Phase 01 · 0–15 min
Before we talk investing, let's understand where your head is at.
Your starting point
The only thing standing between you and investing isn't your finances. It's clarity — and that's what today is for.
Phase 02 · 15–25 min
Inflation means your savings are quietly losing value every year, even when you're doing everything "right."
💡 The real risk isn't investing. It's letting inflation silently shrink your savings for years.
Phase 03 · 25–38 min
No jargon. Here's what these words actually mean.
For a beginner, ETFs tracking a global index (like VWRL or a S&P 500 fund) are the simplest, most diversified place to start. Set it and forget it.
Phase 04 · 38–48 min
The secret ingredient is time — not timing.
You don't need a lump sum. Even €100/month invested consistently beats waiting to invest "when I have more money."
Global index funds have historically returned ~7–10% per year on average. Some years are up, some are down — but over time, the trend goes up.
You earn returns on your returns. €200/month at 8% for 20 years = ~€118,000. You only put in €48,000. The rest? Compound interest.
The market will dip. That's normal. The biggest mistake beginners make is panicking and selling. Time in the market always beats timing the market.
Phase 05 · 48–54 min

VWRL (global), CSPX (S&P 500), or a lifecycle fund. All index-based, diversified, and low-cost.
