Welcome to your weekly dose of Hesse news! This week, we're covering everything from innovative retirement planning apps to expert advice for lottery winners and even a local entrepreneur making waves in South Africa. Let's dive in!
Planning for the Future with 'Seasn'
Are you thinking about retirement? The financial app 'Seasn', backed by the state of Hesse, aims to be your financial compass. It helps you figure out just how much money you'll need in your golden years and offers tools to help you plan accordingly. While reviews suggest it's a useful starting point, there's still room for improvement. Is 'Seasn' the perfect solution? Perhaps not yet, but it's a step in the right direction for those seeking guidance on pension provision.
“Anyone who wants to know how much money is needed in old age and how to prepare for it can find a helpful financial compass with 'Seasn'," says one review. However, the app is still in need of improvement. It's a valuable tool, but don't expect it to be a complete, hands-off solution. Further development is needed to meet all users' needs.
Winning the Lottery? Talk to Sabine Mausolf
Imagine winning the lottery! Exciting, right? But managing a sudden windfall can be tricky. That's where Sabine Mausolf of Lotto Hessen comes in. She's the go-to advisor for lottery winners, helping them navigate the complexities of newfound wealth. Her goal? To ensure your lottery dreams don't turn into financial nightmares.
Sabine Mausolf has seen it all: "Immediately quit, buy a car, or perhaps just an umbrella for now?" She offers practical advice to help winners make smart choices and avoid common pitfalls. Her experience is invaluable for anyone suddenly facing the challenges of managing a large sum of money.
Frankfurt Flavors, South African Soil
Speaking of innovation, did you know that a Frankfurt entrepreneur is growing green sauce herbs in South Africa? Peter Grundhöfer is cultivating five of the seven traditional herbs – chives, parsley, cress, borage, and chervil – on a farm in Delmas. This not only creates jobs but also helps combat the effects of extreme weather, ensuring a steady supply of this Frankfurt staple.
Traditionally, these herbs come from the Oberrad district of Frankfurt. Grundhöfer's venture is a bold move, challenging the status quo and demonstrating the power of entrepreneurial thinking.
Berlin's Financial Package and Hesse
The recent Berlin financial package promises to have a positive impact on Hesse. With additional funds, infrastructure projects like the Regionaltangente West near Eschborn could see significant improvements. Finance Minister Lorz believes that states should have the same flexibility as the federal government when it comes to applying the debt brake. This could lead to increased investment and growth across Hesse.
