Income can be cut by more than half upon retirement

For many, the pension gap is merely an abstract concept. It only becomes truly tangible in old age, when financial cuts become reality and the accustomed standard of living can no longer be maintained.

The sample calculation also shows how the exemplary pension gap of 1,054 euros becomes even larger if you retire early.
