Grandparents want to save for grandchildren

Hello everyone, we became parents for the first time in May. We ourselves save mainly in ETFs; we have created a portfolio for our child where we will also save monthly in ETFs. We both don't think much of banking products in general (this is mainly due to bad advice in the past and the learning curve). Accordingly, we don't own any and don't know what's currently on the market. My mother has now suggested monthly for our child

My old mother had bought €30,000 in gold in a panic because of the Iran war. Sell ​​or wait?

I advised her against it and said that gold is safe in good times, but at the moment it is a speculative asset. The next day she ran to the bank. I'm now wondering whether you should just sell at a loss or wait until the Gulf of Hormuz triggers the next global economic crisis.

Life insurance

Hello fellow Middleclassers, I (30M) am currently considering whether it is still worthwhile for me to take out life insurance so that my family is somewhat protected should God's plan for me become dark. There are several options for 500k over 35 years on Check24. Do you have experience with this? Is there an option that pays back a sum if you survive the deadline or even with interest? Thanks in advance and all the best! submitted by /u/LatenightBot [link] [comments]

Parents seek spots with popular schools despite record-high allocation results

Many Hong Kong parents still sought a place with popular primary schools for their children despite a record-high of 86 per cent of pupils allocated to institutions they favoured. A day after the Education Bureau sent premature SMS notifications about the allocations that listed the correct school choices but the wrong calendar year, some principals and parents said the rare blunder had limited impact on the post-allocation process. Some parents said they even had a little extra time to plan for
