Maria can chat with you for hours over the importance of personal finance and the lack of it in our education system. She did her first investments with B&R Beurs in 2019. She studied IBEB which was good in understanding the economy and finance, but not enough to apply the knowledge on an individual level. Therefore, she started learning more by herself, reading books such as "I Will Teach You to Be Rich" and "Poor Dad, Rich Dad", as well as taking part in masterclasses such as "Index Masterclass" from Tom Crosshill. As a result, she restructured her cash flows & bank accounts, reflects on her budget regularly and has long-term investment goals. She aims to convey a perspective on strategic long-term thinking of your finances and practical applications that you can implement step by step.
Small parts of some sessions might be recorded, or screenshots of the zoom calls might be taken for communication, education and/or marketing purposes.
