Finances, Facts, Fabio: An Evening of Finance Hacks and Entertainment

On January 23, 2025, we made history – the first live podcast of derfinanzplaner not only made finances smarter but also showed that the topic has serious entertainment potential. derfinanzplaner is the podcast format by Caveo co-founder Philippe Muntwyler. It’s all about money – from economic, psychological, and philosophical perspectives. The podcast delivers valuable tips, clears up misconceptions, and provides entertainment. From wealth building to budget hacks and insurance myths, derfinanzplaner brings content that takes your financial knowledge to the next level.

At the heart of the evening were FinanzFabio and me, in front of 150 enthusiastic guests, with a clear mission: to reveal Finance Hacks for 2025, uncover budget pitfalls, debunk insurance myths, and make the future of financial consulting tangible.

But this evening was more than just a discussion round – it was an explosion of energy, knowledge, and humor.

Highlights from the Live Podcast

1. Finance Hacks to make your money smarter instantly: How can you tidy up your budget without sacrificing quality of life? Fabio and I shared practical tips you can implement immediately. We covered clever budget techniques like canceling credit cards to uncover unnecessary subscriptions and automated saving, inspired by Rich Dad, Poor Dad: “Pay yourself first.”

2. Insurance myths and realities: Do you really need every type of insurance? Or are there ones you can confidently skip? We addressed these questions head-on and answered the most pressing ones from the audience.

3. The future of financial consulting: Technology meets humanity – that’s our approach for tomorrow’s consulting. We explained live why a digital pension robo-advisor is not just a gimmick but creates real added value.

4. When and how to start saving with Bitcoin: Inspired by one of our reels: Should you just buy Bitcoin or understand it first? FinanzFabio shared his best tips for getting started with Bitcoin and the perfect timing.

Interaction at its best

The real highlight? Our audience! The guests weren’t just listeners but active contributors to the evening. From challenging questions to spontaneous challenges, everything was on the table. How do you explain complex financial terms in one sentence? Or: Which insurance strategy works for any life situation in just three minutes? We tackled these tasks – and mastered them with a touch of humor.

The energy in the room proved: Finances are not only important but can also be exciting and entertaining.
