Hi all, how did you solve the retirement puzzle?

As an expat, I went on the Degiro for investing at the moment, since the account can be used from all countries.

Was considering to invest also in an insurance, but is apparently not possible if you live abroad and then maybe go back to the home country.

Have any tips?

Consider what jurisdiction you are likely to retire in and look at whether there are tax efficient ways to save for a pension there, eg capital gains free, or gross of income tax. Moving pensions between countries is a ballache so plan to avoid it if you can.

Continue to pay into an occupational pension in the € country I live in and let the non-€ pension pot I have grow. Maybe when I’m nearer to retirement I’ll come back to the problem but as far as I can tell there is little need to give someone money for a pepp when you’re under 50

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager. I am really biased toward people with clinical/in hospital experience because, quite frankly, healthcare is a different beast - lots of hand holding and change management. I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!

Let’s say you have two young, high income partners in a couple who want to buy a house together but don’t really care to get married.

I realize there isn’t a “right” answer but I’m interested in people’s experiences here.
