Alexander Odenthal, Financial Expert at HORBACH
What will you discover?
During this 90-minute session, we will explore:
Your next 40 years:
How your income, expenses, and financial priorities may evolve throughout your career.
Earning more vs. keeping more
Why a growing salary doesn’t automatically translate into growing wealth.
Protecting what matters
Understanding the financial risks you shouldn’t gamble with.
Decisions with a long-term impact
How the choices you make today can affect your financial flexibility later.
Finances as an international professional
What to consider when your future may involve staying in Germany, relocating to another country, or returning home.
The power of starting early
See how seemingly small decisions can make a significant difference over time.
The session will use realistic case scenarios and storytelling to illustrate why there isn’t one financial strategy that works for everyone.
Participants will also have the opportunity to submit their questions anonymously throughout the webinar, followed by a live Q&A session.
