Podcast and radio host Niko Saarinen tells in a recent Nicotellein the episode of the podcast, the balance of his bank account to the host couple To Jenni. You can listen to the podcast From Podme.
Saarinen explains the topic by saying that he has just withdrawn dividends from his company, which is why there is more money in the current account. Then Saarinen shook the amount on the counter for his pair of presenters. The current account balance is 61,000 euros.
– Oh damn! The pair of presenters shouted and burst out laughing.
– Those are my dividends that I was able to withdraw. I had to withdraw them from the company’s account, Saarinen answers.
– What do you use all of them for? Jenni commented.
– Last year I lived on dividends for almost the whole year. That’s basically my current account for the whole year, says Saarinen.
Saarinen says that the bank had contacted him because of the money in the account. The bank clerk suggested to Saarinen that Saarinen should not keep the money in his bank account, but that it be transferred to his company’s savings account.
– My God, I haven’t raised my salary this year. It feels absurd to work and not get paid at all, Saarinen says.
