Inga Krauss

Inga Krauss offers a specialized educational portfolio focused on financial literacy, statutory pensions, and wealth building for surviving spouses (Hinterbliebene). The offerings do not lead to academic degrees, vocational diplomas, or formal state certifications. Instead, the curriculum consists entirely of practical online video courses, self-study modules, live and recorded workshops, individual mentoring sessions, and guest lectures, supported by downloadable working materials and community access. The core of the portfolio comprises several online video self-learning courses centered on the statutory German widow's pension (Witwenrente) and associated financial planning. The course "Die 6 wichtigsten Stolperfallen bei der Witwenrente" covers fundamental mechanisms of survivor pensions, essential terminology such as pension points and fictional net income, and common initial administrative errors, providing about two hours of video content along with supplementary downloads. For ongoing financial management, "Der Lifehack bei der Einkommensanrechnung" runs for over 1.5 hours and addresses lawful strategies to prevent pension cuts resulting from employment income. In addition, "Die Hinzuverdienstgrenze leicht erklärt" offers approximately 3.5 hours of video instruction based on a live workshop recording, breaking down income caps, pension adjustments, and statutory calculation formulas. Broader financial education is covered in dedicated courses addressing taxation and asset building. The self-paced course "Videokurs Witwenrente und Steuern" comprises 2.5 hours of video material with 90 days of access, explaining deferred taxation, tax brackets, splitting procedures, and reserves for tax arrears. For long-term wealth accumulation, the course "Immobilien als Anlageform für Hinterbliebene" provides approximately two hours of instruction on buy-to-let property investments, cash flow calculation, and tax effects, accompanied by calculation files and the Immocation calculation tool. Inga Krauss complements these digital courses with free informational resources, individual 1-on-1 mentoring, and book recommendations including "Wenn der Tod dazwischenkommt" and "Witwenrente: Der Renten- und Finanzratgeber für Hinterbliebene".
