19. Octombrie 2010, 23:48:42  Melusine: I heard on the news this morning where France is raising retirement age to 62 and the french people aren't very happy. 12 Months ago our Govt. raised our retirement age from 65 to 67....and hardly a word was said about it. In my opinion if a person is healthy and able to do his/her job 65 is too young to retire. The Govt. here also gives an incentive to people who wish to work beyond retirement age for 5 or more years a $30,000.00 (thirty thousand dollars) payout to do so. Why would you want to retire.? 20.

It's also difficult to travel because actually very few trains. French people don't want to work after 60 because they want to live as they want, to travel, to make things they don't have time to do when they work. The problem is also that our president Sarkozy does as he was deaf and rejects all the negotiations, even for hard jobs as building jobs. 20. Octombrie 2010, 01:00:23 Subiectul: Re: Mélusine: Do your people get Government pensions when you retire or do you have to fund your own retirement? 20. Octombrie 2010, 01:08:02 Subiectul: Re: Bernice: The government pays a pension but it's not very simple because people also get a particular pension scheme according to the job they had before. 20. Octombrie 2010, 01:10:51 Subiectul: Re: Mélusine: I see :) our pensions are all the same base rate, but then it depends on how much money/property you own. you are allowed to own about $300,000.00 worth of property/cash before you get penalized I think... 20. Octombrie 2010, 01:11:53 Subiectul: Re: Mélusine: The base rate for a single person is just over $700.00 per fortnight, and for a couple it is about $1100.00 20. Octombrie 2010, 01:22:34 Subiectul: Re: Bernice: The minimum we have is : for 1 person : 708,96 €uros/month (973,98 $) for 1 couple : 1157,47 €uros/month (1590,15 $) 20. Octombrie 2010, 01:34:55 Subiectul: Re: Bernice: We have to contribute, to work, during minimum 40 years and it will be 41 years in 2012. And for you, how many years ? 20. Octombrie 2010, 01:52:36 Subiectul: Re: Mélusine: we dont have to contribute anything....we pay taxes on our money is all. 20. Octombrie 2010, 01:59:53 Subiectul: Re: Bernice: Ah yes. So, you can retire when you want ? 20. Octombrie 2010, 02:03:28 Subiectul: Re: Mélusine: no you retire when the Govt. thinks you should LOL....at the moment it is 65 for men and about 63 for women, but that will change in 2012 when they bring in the new ages. 20. Octombrie 2010, 02:06:36 Subiectul: Re: Bernice: 65 it's very late. |
