Many people are afraid of debt – but BAföG loans actually have very good terms. Part of the BAföG is a grant that doesn't have to be repaid, and there are also repayment options where a portion of the debt is forgiven.

“Money makes the world go round” – and yet most people know very little about economics. It's totally boring, right? I disagree.

I'm Johannes, and I trained and worked at a traditional bank for several years. At some point, I got fed up with "more profit" being the sole goal of my work, which is why I finally threw in the towel.

On this channel, I want to explore each week how our economy works—and how it might work.
