Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

The pension system must be restructured in such a way that everyone is responsible for their own contributions. This will eventually happen because it will no longer be affordable. Actually, it should already be done this way now.

Then tell the people between 35-45 that their already paid six-figure amount is gone and if they want anything, they still have a few years left...

(I don't want others to pay my pension later).

So you plan to hang yourself punctually today at 67? Great – socially acceptable death, a model communist...

I am Generation Y and I RESIST and will accordingly now live.

How exactly, for example?

(I don't want others to pay my pension later).

Others ALWAYS pay pensions, whether through dividends, rents, or state redistribution. Hear and be amazed: all income in money is always paid by others.

Quite concretely: What have the 14-20 year olds done? Most of them haven't even voted yet. Nevertheless, they are facing the biggest challenges since the post-war reconstruction: climate change and its consequences, a completely missed energy transition, an absolutely broken pension system (the federal budget is currently already massively subsidizing the pension fund). What can the youth specifically do about it? Tell me. When the decisions for this were made, most of them were, if at all, in kindergarten.

Until recently, I believe the youth had very good chances and opportunities

There have always been challenges, I dare say even bigger ones. No generation before had it as good as the youth have had so far. Now, however, it depends on setting the right course, and especially since Merkel turned politics here (in the completely wrong direction) since 2015 and the traffic light coalition is putting even more on top, things are rapidly going downhill, actually in all areas.

I observe resignation among the youth. Understandable, but wrong. They can no longer rest on the prosperity of the boomers; they need to take action now, but they have never learned how. Now they are whining our ears off and lighting smoke screens with climate catastrophe or “everyone is right-wing.”

If I were Gen Z and around 20 years old, I would leave the country immediately or look for a job that still provides me with a decent life despite fatal politics. For example, a doctor or lawyer...

We have built too big and will certainly downsize in a few years. But probably no longer in Germany. I also don’t believe the turnaround will succeed. The decline is being actively fueled, and here there really are "tipping points."

Applied to the housing situation, this means more and more people have to rely on their parental homes and live in extended families again or in small apartments. I see less of a problem with this for the majority.

Pensions are ALWAYS paid by others, whether dividends, rents, or government allocation.

What are you talking about, please?
We currently have a pay-as-you-go pension system, in which all contributions paid by workers are immediately spent on the current pensioners.
But it wouldn’t be like that if everyone invested their money for themselves. One would be responsible for oneself and one’s life, and it will ultimately come down to that anyway. But no one says it at the moment because politics hasn’t dared to do so yet. In fact, it is simple math: fewer and fewer workers cannot finance more and more pensioners.

Then tell the people between 35-45 that their already paid-in six-figure sum is gone and if they want something, they still have a few years... So you hang yourself right on time at 67 as of today? Great – a socially compatible death, a model communist...

That is the problem, I am assuming the ideal case here. There should have already been a cut long ago and politics simply neglected it. The only solution I see is that all current retirees are paid from tax revenues and from now on everyone who is still working is responsible for their own pension. That is, for me, the fairest option. Or do you want to wait until everything collapses?

We do not (anymore) live in prosperity, the country is completely broken and is being made worse every day for various reasons.
