In today's fast-paced world, many people are drawn to the idea of making quick money. Tetyana, managing partner at ks actuaries | Versicherungsmathematik, stresses the importance of thinking long-term when it comes to investing."People want to have things fast and they think they can get rich very fast,"she explains, pointing out a common misunderstanding about quick returns.
Tetyana's journey from Ukraine to Austria, and her deep dive into finance, shows how valuable education and diverse experiences can be. At KS Actuary, she works on assessing risks for insurance companies, banks, and other businesses, making sure they are prepared for financial challenges. This careful approach to managing risk highlights the need for planning and foresight in financial decisions.
Beyond her professional work, Tetyana is passionate about teaching the next generation about money. She runs workshops and educational programs for kids and teens, helping them learn the basics of managing money. Her children's book Sammy und das Geheimnis der Goldmünzen on financial literacy is designed to start conversations between parents and kids, helping them understand money early on.
For those new to the financial world, Tetyana advises focusing on learning rather than just earning money quickly."The best investment was investing in my education,"she says, encouraging young adults to value knowledge and experience over short-term gains.
