Will you ever be able to afford not having to work?
Even with a high income, most professionals in Germany won’t be able to retire comfortably.
Pensions cover less than half of future expenses.
And every year, most professionals in Germany lose €10–30k to missed tax incentives and low-yield savings.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
You can make the system work for you — legally, confidently, and by the numbers.
Crafting Wealth teaches professionals in Germany to understand their numbers, close their pension gap, and build lasting financial independence — safely and strategically.

Trust Me, I've Been There
You work hard — but lose thousands in taxes.
In 2017, I started earning six figures — but my net income didn’t reflect the effort I was putting in. I was saving, but it still felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere. Then, in 2019, I took professional financial advice — and their recommendation shocked me: “Invest more than half a million — overnight.”
The tax return and cash flow looked unbelievable. “Why isn’t everyone doing this?” I wondered.
What I learned next changed everything. The people who understand the system — the informed, the prepared — have been doing this all along. The government actually rewards you for investing properly: deductions, allowances, depreciation — they’re all available to you too.
But the system is complex. Even with professional advice, it’s hard to believe you can use it yourself. And yes, it’s true — but it’s not simple. You have to plan, calculate, keep buffers, and file everything correctly so your strategy holds.
After years of learning, I finally bridged the gap between uncertainty and clarity. Within three months, I built a €1.2 million portfolio that grows without me working for it — multiplying my equity tenfold.
Now I teach others how to do the same — legally, confidently, and by the numbers — so what once sounded “too good to be true” becomes your plan, your system, and your reality.
My only regret? Not starting sooner.
Have you started building your financial future — or are you still losing thousands in taxes with no clear outlook for your independence?

The Cost of Doing Nothing
The real cost of waiting
Bank savings halve in ~25 years (inflation).
Pension covers mainly rent + part of health insurance—not life.
ETFs get taxed no matter what, and their growth fades once you start withdrawing.
Without assets that pay you, you’ll work through the years meant for family.
Lose €15,000/year to poor structure → €75k lost in 5 years · €225k lost in 15years · €450k lost in 30years.
What It Could Mean For You
Real Scenario, Real Numbers
🧑💼 Daniel — Engineer from Munich
Profile: 36 years old, employed in the automotive industry
Gross annual income: €120,000
Effective tax burden: ~43% (€51,600/year)
Savings: ~€25,000 in a low-interest account
Before (status quo):
Daniel saves €25,000 per year, but inflation (3%) and tax drag reduce its real growth to near zero. After 25 years, his €625,000 in savings is worth roughly €310,000 in today’s money — half lost to inflation and tax inefficiency.
After (optimized with Crafting Wealth framework):
Daniel invests part of his savings — €40,000 in solar and €40,000 in real estate equity — using state incentives, IAB depreciation, and rental yield structures. His after-tax advantage and reinvested returns bring his projected 25-year net worth to €1.6 million.
He keeps €20,000 in his portfolio liquid and still reduces his annual tax bill by ~€9,000 starting year one.

👩💻 Scenario 2: Sarah — Consultant & Mother of Two
Profile: 42 years old, management consultant, married with two kids
Household income: €180,000
Tax rate: ~45%
Existing investments: ETFs + small company pension
Before:
Sarah and her husband save ~€2,000/month, mainly in ETFs. Projected return after inflation and taxes = 1.9% annual real growth.
Their pension will replace ~35% of income, leaving an €80,000/year gap in retirement.
After:
By integrating a tax-efficient solar investment (€60,000 initial, financed through partial credit and IAB tax return) and using property depreciation + Rürup pension contributions, Sarah’s household:
Lowers tax burden by ~€12,000/year
Builds an additional €1.4 million in assets over 25 years
Creates a steady passive income stream of €3,500–€4,000/month for retirement
“We didn’t change our lifestyle — we changed how we allocate money. It feels like we got a raise every year.” — Sarah, Munich

🧔♂️ Scenario 3: Thomas — IT Manager, Age 50
Profile: Late-career professional, single, owns apartment
Annual income: €95,000
Tax rate: ~42%
Worried about: Short investment window before retirement
Before:
Thomas kept €100,000 in cash “for security.” At 2% inflation, he loses ~€2,000/year in value. His pension will pay him about €1,400/month at 67.
After:
Through Crafting Wealth’s step-by-step approach, he invests €35,000 equity into a small real estate project (leveraged €300,000), plus €15,000 in solar, mostly from IAB tax return.
Annual tax savings: €5,800
Expected 15-year equity value: €700,000+
Rental yield covers loan and creates €700/month cash flow
Pension gap effectively closed within 7 years
“I never thought this was possible for someone my age — now my plan is clear.” — Thomas, Frankfurt

3. Execution (Coaching)

Why Crafting Wealth
Most people in Germany will retire without enough money — even those earning well.
They assume “the system will take care of me.”
It won’t.
They save randomly.
They invest without a plan.
They hope their pension will be “enough.”
Then, they wake up at 67 and realise they can’t stop working.
Not because they want to keep busy — but because they have to.
That doesn’t have to be your story.
What if you could:
✅ Know exactly where your money goes, and what to fix first.
✅ Build a personalised plan for financial freedom that works with your tax bracket, family goals, and income.
✅ Learn how to make your money work for you — not for the government.
✅ Feel confident talking about money with your spouse and kids.
✅ Retire early — or at least, on your own terms.
That’s what this program delivers.

Why I started Crafting Wealth
About Erick
👋 Engineer. Investor. Husband. Father.
Born in Guatemala, based in Germany since 2004.
After years of earning well but feeling stuck under a heavy tax burden, I discovered something few professionals realize: Germany’s system doesn’t just take — it rewards those who know how to use it.
Once I learned to structure my finances strategically, everything changed.
I built a seven-figure leveraged portfolio using the same legal incentives available to everyone — and it transformed how I think about money, security, and freedom.
Now I help other professionals do the same — legally, confidently, and by the numbers — so they can stop losing money to taxes and start building lasting financial independence.

"Managing money and investments in Germany can feel overwhelming with all the tax rules and bureaucracy. Erick’s course really broke it down in a simple, practical way, it gave me clarity, fresh motivation, and a plan to move forward."
"Investing is a very important topic. Few people talk about it most are stuck and don’t know where to start. Erick's course gives a great overview, provides actionable ideas, and prompts for action. This course is worth it and even for those of us living outside of Germany in similarly constructed high-tax-systems (EU-Wide) it helps to structure a course of action. While each country in the EU will have adapted conditions and incentives, the framework provided can support people outside of Germany."
"For me it was engaging and a good review of things I knew. I'm already an investor since many years and have done deep research myself. People who are starting or haven't made up their mind will gain great value from this course."
"Erick's course is very well done, his approach to the topic is very genuine and strong. It's imperative for people to understand their financial situation and secure their financial future. I recommend this course."
"This course is suprisingly engaging and insightful. It gave me lots to think and improve on my own investment strategy."
"Investing was always a stock market topic for me, but this course opened up my eyes to partially better options that are a great combination to my portfolio so far. I can only recommend this course."
"I'm already invested in real estate but there were many new things I learned. The solar power investments were definitely new. Erick is very approachable and the information in his course is very valuable."
"Ericks course provided very valuable information for our investment strategy. As we have a daughter we're looking at ourselves and at her future. I can recommend this course."
"I have been motivated by Erick to include solar power investments in my own portfolio. This course is full of relevant information in a very short time and Erick's availability for questions is invaluable."
