Government distorts labour market

Government distorts labour market

I was with a notary this week who told me that he had lost two team members to the tax authorities. An accountant accompanying us added that his children, who had studied tax law, had also joined the tax department. And considering the workload compared to what he himself had gone through in his career, he gave them great credit. I wondered aloud how they thought they would build wealth then.

May = Holiday money month! But watch out for the tax surprise...

For many employees, May is a celebration month: holiday pay is coming! A bonus, often good for 8% of the gross annual salary.

Keep your cool when the stock market is on fire

You know the drill: you open your investment app and see red numbers. Another drop. Your stomach turns and you wonder: should I act now? This reaction is quite normal - our brain is simply programmed to react to danger. But just as you shouldn't panic when you see the value of your home temporarily drop, it is important to keep a cool head when investing.
