Do you have a dream you want to save up for? And is your goal in the future, for example in 3 years or later? Then Investing (Dutch Only) could be an interesting option. Investing is meant for the long term: the longer your investment horizon, the greater the chance that you can recover any negative returns. And the greater your chance of achieving a positive return.

Decide how much money you can invest","richBody":{"value":"Do you have enough money set aside for unexpected expenses? It’s not wise to invest with savings you may need in the short term. So take a look at your full financial situation. Think about your income, your savings buffer, and financial obligations such as your mortgage. From there, you can decide how much money you have left to invest. You can start with a higher or lower initial amount, and you can also add extra deposits later on (automatically if you like). For example, a fixed amount every month.
