Alleen gaan wonen: de checklist - Deel 1

Voor het eerst op je eigen benen staan is een spannende mijlpaal in je leven. Het is iets om naar uit te kijken, maar misschien bezorgt het je ook wel stress. Hoe zit dat met de kosten, wat moet je allemaal regelen... enfin: hoe ben je een goede volwassene?

• Waar moet je op letten in een huur- of koopcontract
• Hoe vind je een goed elektriciteitscontract?
• Hoe pak je de zoektocht naar een woning aan?

Dit is het eerste deel van een reeks van twee afleveringen rond dit thema.

Ontdek hoe ik jou kan helpen met je financiën

Met de succesvolle staatsbon nog vers in het geheugen zijn veel Belgen bezig met het rendement op hun spaarcenten. Misschien vraag jij je ook wel af hoe je die het beste kan laten groeien.
