  "account": "A German author recounts their experience with private retirement planning. They initially invested in a stock-based pension insurance policy in 2008, but after 15 years and over 20,000 euros in contributions, they had only made a 1,000 euro profit. The author then switched to an ETF savings plan in August 2025, seeking a more sustainable and secure investment option. They researched and selected a combination of green and conventional ETFs, balancing their desire for social responsibility with financial security. The author reflects on their journey, noting that while they have learned about ETFs, they still rely on simple, practical advice rather than in-depth technical knowledge.",
  "summary": "From the Handelsblatt archive: Our author deals with ETFs for the first time in his life - and finds that retirement planning is simpler in theory than in practice.",
