A Romanian woman from Germany draws attention to the low pensions for those who work for minimum wage, highlighting the high cost of living.

Narcisa, a Romanian settled in Germany, emphasizes that pensions for those earning the minimum wage are far from sufficient. For example, a friend of hers, after 40 years of work, receives only 850 euros in pension. The German pension system is based on the accumulation of points, and most Romanians do not reach the income necessary to obtain a decent pension. Narcisa highlights the high cost of living, which turns pensions into insufficient amounts for a decent life. Her message has been confirmed by other Romanians in Germany, who share similar experiences, emphasizing that although pensions are higher than in Romania, they do not ensure a worry-free life.
