How are family and wealth compatible?

I'm in my mid-20s and single and wondering how to build wealth with a family in the long term. It starts with finding someone who is on the same wavelength as you financially. Just thinking about people spending up to €100,000 on a wedding sends shivers down my spine. I don't even want to start with children. How do you finance the whole thing and build up assets at the same time? From a financial perspective, doesn't it make the most sense to just do it alone?

South Korea has made peaceful coexistence the central objective of its North Korea policy.

She is looking for ways to invest some of her surplus cash, and since I have been investing in ETFs for many years, we're considering whether that might also be a good option for her. I currently live in the Netherlands and invest in the accumulating VWCE ETF through Degiro. One of the reasons I use Degiro is that it simplifies tax reporting, which makes things much easier for me.

The factory in Shanghai’s Lingang free-trade zone delivered 85,982 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles last month, up 39.4 per cent from a year earlier and 8.2 per cent from April, according to Tesla China.

Just for fun, I recently asked the human resources department whether my employer offers a statutory pension plan. In fact, it seems so unusual here in the house that the first colleague I asked answered straight away: “We don’t have anything like that.” Since that can't be the case, I sent the request again in writing to the head of the human resources department. The answer is essentially: deferred compensation is offered, but the employer says so
