Cristina Laslo (29 years old), the captain of the Romanian women's national handball team, urges athletes to pay more attention to financial education.
Cristina Laslo was one of the best paid tricolor handball players in recent years. The coordinator under contract with Gloria Bistrita until the end of the season named the sectors in which she has recently invested.
What does Cristina Laslo invest her money in
The discussion about the financial side started from a question related to politics, more precisely the choice made in the 2025 presidential elections.
“I voted for Nicușor Dan. You should know that I follow politics, yes. I follow because I panicked when the elections were held, I saw that the world was going crazy. I said I should also know some things. I am worried about what is happening. We, the handball players, are in a golden bubble. I want to know what I'm dealing with when I get out of there.
I feel for the Romanian citizens. Mother has the minimum wage in the economy, father a small pension. Seeing what's happening with tax increases, inflation, expensive apartments, I'm still studying. I want to see what direction they take.
I invested in two expensive apartments in Cluj. We don't have financial education. I've been working towards this for two years now. We only dream of handball from morning to night. We are in a circle of our own, I don't meet have architects…
Private pension, little crypto. I invest in more. I've been trying for about 4-5 years, but still the same, from what I've heard. Not on the stock market. I have state titles. I bought the apartments near Iulius, for 3000 euros/sqm. In 5 years, maybe it will be double or triple. That's if a metro station is built there”, revealed Cristina Laslo in the Hai cu Link podcast.

According to GSP information, Laslo will transfer to Dunărea Brăila next year. The salary will be similar, around 10,000 euros/month.
We were poor, we were on the limit. I was living from one month to the next. My father just retired, he was a security guard. When we were little he was a security guard. They are simple people, hardworking people, from the country, they have been working since they were 12 years old. I didn't catch my grandparents, from my father's side I only caught his father.
They are common people, my mother now works in a label packaging factory. He works hard. My brother and I slept in the same bed, we got clothes from our older brother. All 5 of us were staying in a 3-room apartment. My brother and I had the same row of books
