E01 The place of your crib

By far the largest part of private wealth consists of money that has not been worked for, but has been obtained by means of inheritances or gifts. Sander Schimmelpenninck wonders how fair 'equal opportunities' are, when some of the people get a head start from their parents. And he examines his own position: how important is the place where your cradle is?

E02 Your own house

In recent years, people with wealth have moved en masse into 'the buildings' and, thanks to the tax-friendly treatment of the return, they have been able to grow their wealth. In addition, children of wealthy parents are given the lead by means of a 'jubelton', while more and more starters and tenants are no longer able to find an affordable home without financial help. How do we close this housing gap?

E04 Money works harder than you

It's getting harder and harder to turn a dime into a quarter. Just having talent and intelligence is not enough; it is mainly a question of whether you get the chance to use those two. Now that work pays less and less, Sander wonders whether the rich really did it themselves. Or have they mainly been able to use the system in a smart way?
