Until recently, I have been acting like my job was a disease that will go away in the future. I believed if I put in the effort, I could retire earlier. It was like a drug addiction.
Thanks to Otto von Bismarck, Germany introduced the first old-age insurance program in 1889.
my father’s grandfather didn't have the retirement option. He worked until he passed away. Although he probably had tons of problems, he never thought about retirement. He tried to raise kids who would look after him when he was old. That was the method back then.
Similar to the idea of a basic income, when we added the retirement system, it wasn't enough to support anyone's dreams. It partially removed the necessity of having kids.
Right now, in most cases, pension income is barely enough to provide food and shelter. Thus, people have to work toward having enough savings. Then, when they retire, they can maintain their standards (whatever they are).
