Editor's Summary
Be cautious of bank employees who promise you the world. They might be hiding the fine print, and you could end up losing your hard-earned money. Always do your research and read reviews before investing.
A Cautionary Tale
I'm sharing my experience with you because I wish someone had warned me before I fell for it. It was 2021, and I was planning to deposit some money into an account. But then, a bank employee started telling me about the possibility of earning on insurance, with high interest rates, tax deductions, and other perks. I didn't read any reviews, and that was my first mistake. I invested my money for 5 years, but let's just say it's gone. The employee didn't mention all the downsides, like how my money would depreciate every day. And here's the kicker: after signing the contract, I could withdraw my money, but I'd lose 25% of it. That was the first red flag.
Things got even worse. The bank invested my money in American stocks, but the employee didn't mention that either. So, if any of those stocks were in the red, forget about seeing any returns. And even if I did see some gains, it would be a tiny fraction of what I was promised. I'm talking about a coupon constructor that shows you've earned 130,000 in 3 years, but you can't actually withdraw it because not all stocks reached the required threshold. The result? My money has been sitting there for 4 years, earning a whopping 13% interest. Yeah, it sounds ridiculous now, but that's what I'm stuck with.
