One worked example. No card debt, a safety net the savings already cover, and €1,100 a month to place — run through the same model your own answers go through.

New in 2027: the state adds money to your retirement savings.

The Altersvorsorgedepot replaces Riester. Pay in €150 a month and the state adds up to €540 a year. More if you have children.

The money is locked until you are 65. What you take out then is taxed as income.

What one monthly habit turns into

An amount, a plan, and thirty years.

A constant 4.5% a year, after inflation. That is the Adventurous plan’s own assumption, worked out from what the mix holds, not a return measured over a past period. The line is straight because the rate is. Real returns vary year to year, and some years go down.

Nobody ever showed you the order

You earn enough to put something aside. There is a card balance you have been meaning to deal with, savings that feel like they should be doing more, and no clear idea which comes first.

That is not a discipline problem. Nobody ever showed you the order.

Independent financial planning typically costs €1,000 to €3,000 for a consultation. A qualified person’s time costs much the same whether the money being planned is €15,000 or €1.5 million.

So advisers apply portfolio minimums. Below a certain amount the maths does not work, and a €2,000 fee on €15,000 of savings helps nobody.

Most people default to cash. In a survey of 14,318 people across ten European countries, 51% held savings accounts and term deposits. 22% held funds, shares or ETFs.

A bad fee is easy to see. A plan you never made is not — not until you add up what it cost you.

This fee range is a rough guide, not a quote. Every adviser sets their own price.

I’m not German either. I built the plan I wished I’d had.
