Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

OK I think someone needs to break out of their cocoon and get a little taste of reality abroad.

The user doesn't get along well with foreigners… :rolleyes:

But it is simply about the fact that the pay-as-you-go pension system will no longer work in the long run..

Correct. It has not worked for years, because currently 120 billion EUR are already going from taxes into pensions in order to finance them at all.

The pension has long since not been "pay-as-you-go," at least not if one understands that retirees are paid from the pension insurance contributions of the employees.

Everyone finances the pension through taxes. That was not its original idea.

Here I have to ask critically again. Which abroad do you mean? Sweden? Norway? I hang around there a lot and they are actually better off than us. Or they feel better, whatever.

In France, people retire at the latest at 60, in the railway usually already in their mid-50s.

In Italy, the weather is good and people get their new heating 110% financed by the state.

Ok, if we look at Senegal, then it gets sad. But the countries around us are not as bad as we like to tell ourselves here on our Prussian horse.

Back to the topic... does anyone still remember how we discussed a year ago that a sack of cement costs 4€? Meanwhile, it is up to a whopping 5.29€...
