Crisis, crisis, crisis, who will finance our next crisis.

The past few years have been unmistakably crisis years for just about everyone. Financially as well as emotionally, the consequences and repercussions of the “refugee crisis”, ” Corona crisis “, “financial crisis”, inflation and economic crisis are still to be managed today. The acute political situation with fighting in Eastern Europe, which has taken on the appearance of times long past, also creates uncertainty. Hardened fronts, a moderately severe energy crisis and renewed refugee flows are placing a considerable burden on the population and state coffers.

Already during the pandemic, enormous sums of money were raised by the legislature to mitigate or postpone perceived dangers and economic damages. But how, and especially where, are the many billions more to come from which are needed for disease victims, economic rescue, military aid and energy crisis?

The suspicion is obvious. This time, too, the financial hole will once again be at the expense of the taxpayer, thanks to the government’s spending spree, or rather will affect all those who can supposedly “afford” a further financial burden. When Siegmar Gabriel (SPD) first floated the term “burden sharing” in 2020, he was fueling the debate about an imminent “forced taxation” of property owners. Since then, rumors on the subject do not cease, and with each additional crisis, people’s fears for their homes and farms intensify. Whether the burden sharing will come and in what form is currently still open. Nevertheless, it is a good idea to start thinking about ways to protect your assets today.
