  "account": "After my first pocket money, my financial strategy mainly consisted of spending as little as possible. Unlike my brother who invested most of his money in mixed bags, I kept my savings to myself. Eventually, all the money I earned, with few exceptions of fixed-interest accounts, ended up in my savings account. It might not come as a surprise that I grew up as a classic left-green humanities student, who preferred to deal with political affairs in the USA rather than his personal finances. This changed when I had to adjust my private pension last year. After all, that was what I had been working towards since 2008, having completed my studies in hand. Back then, I had taken out a pension insurance based on share funds, from a friend, which of course, is never a good idea. Everything seemed very secure. I didn't think twice and signed the papers. I didn't spend long looking at the annual summary, I just signed it. Even a savings book would have given me a better overview. The reason I looked into my finances last year was probably because I switched to a different newspaper. It is impossible to ignore one's own finances after a while. I was 42, and it turned out that after more than 15 years and over 20,000 Euros in contributions, I had only made 1000 Euros profit. Despite the stock markets being rather good during this time.",
