Does raising a child really cost as much as a house? We made the calculation 🏡👶 A child costs as much as house, or so they say. But is that really true? An analysis by AG, based on figures from Gezinsbond, shows that the first child will cost an average Belgian family €264,000 by the time s/he turns 25. Quite a hefty sum. So the comparison with the price of a house isn't that far-fetched after all. The figures show how important it is to plan for the future financially. While setting up a traditional savings account is certainly a good start, there are smarter ways to cover the cost of a child that offer higher returns, such as Branch 21 or Branch 23 insurance savings plans.

🚀 🇨🇳 DeepSeek: Chinese AI disrupter rocks Wall Street's Magnificent 7. Will it upend U.S. tech dominance 📉? For years, the Magnificent 7 - the seven U.S. tech giants - have reigned supreme on the financial markets. But a new player is now threatening the aura of invincibility surrounding America's technology industry.  On 27 January, Chinese startup DeepSeek announced a surprise advancement in the AI model: cheaper, ultra-low-power chips with record-breaking performance and remarkable energy efficiency 💡. The immediate impact on the markets: Nvidia shares plunged, resulting in a market cap loss of close to $600 billion, while the other tech giants held up better. The sudden rise of DeepSeek is a wake-up call for the sector. After years of massive investment, it's now time for AI to start making money for businesses. At the same time, new initiatives such as the multi-billion dollar U.S. Stargate Project mark a bold leap into the future for AI. 📊 What are the consequences for investors? Our expert Eric Giegas deciphers the latest developments and their impact on the markets. Read his complete analysis in Perspectives 👇. FR: https://lnkd.in/exxT_nSy NL: https://lnkd.in/e9SD_PAh
