[00:00] Si el dinero que usas para el día a día lo tienes en una cuenta normal y no en una cuenta remunerada, estás cometiendo un error. Algunas personas no lo hacen porque se piensan que su dinero no está 100% asegurado. Pero qué va, son neobancos como Revolut, Trade Republic, que son bancos, solo que 100% digitales,
[00:17] y que están perfectamente regulados en Europa y con sucursales en España para tener también IVAN español. Y además tienes 100.000 euros asegurados, igual que con tu banco normal. Otras personas piensan que ese dinero en una cuenta remunerada queda bloqueado de alguna forma,
[00:32] pero qué va, lo puedes retirar cualquier día, cualquier minuto, sin ninguna penalización. Entonces, ¿por qué no todo el mundo utiliza una cuenta remunerada? Pues eso digo yo, por desconocimiento o, peor aún, por pereza. Mira, nadie se va a hacer rico con una cuenta
[00:47] remunerada, pero mucho mejor que dejarlo que se lo coma la inflación, que eso sí que te hace pobre. Además, ¿sabías que tu banco tradicional sí que usa una cuenta remunerada con tu dinero? Lo ponen en el Banco Central Europeo, que por los tipos de interés les pagan a ellos
[01:02] y a ti no te dan nada. Hashtag injusticia.
