Money for later

Working year after year, until you have time for something else? There's another option: a Boomerang Pension. That means taking a break to pursue a dream and to go back to work with new ideas. In this series, we follow people who opted for a Boomerang Pension. In this episode: Joost.

Joost put his corporate job on hold to make times for other things.
