For me it would be a reason either to leave Germany! I'm 47 years old, and worked less then 4 years employed. The result is, that my retirement insurance would be less then Hartz IV, even if I start retirement insurance and work till 70.
Unemployed, and retirement insurance make no sense. Not for normal pay roll worker, and even less for self employed.
- gaadd33 13y agoI'm a little confused, in the US everyone (including the self employed, and I want to say people receiving unemployment) pay into social security but very few people in the tech industry expect to live on that alone, at best it would be a supplement to retirement savings. So are you saying that instead of paying into a retirement insurance plan you are just going to depend on Hartz IV to support you in retirement?
- Xylakant 13y agoSo if you're 47 you either have some savings for your retirement or you need to build some very fast. Otherwise you'll be living of Hartz IV anyways. I fail to see your point? Do you want to rely on social security while not paying into the social system - sorry, for me that doesn't work. I'm all for making freelancers save money for when they're older, as long as they can choose how they want to do it.
