You only live once, but… don’t forget to think about the future

“The sooner you start building up a pension or saving money, the better.”

André Hollenkamp has just been reappointed for his third and last term as chairman of the NN and ING CDC pension funds. He’s looking forward to it. “There's so much in store for us, in addition to the important things on our table already... We’ll be migrating to a completely new pension system. The media are reporting on it every day. Every year, the Netherlands and Denmark take turns as the country with the world's best pension system.

When they're older, we hope to be able to see some real giraffes in the wild with them, but we know exciting vacations won’t be possible for a while.”

The link with ‘later’ was quickly made. After all, the topic of our conversation was pension. It's a topic that keeps Nadine occupied professionally. She’s been working as an HR communication specialist at NN since 2018.
