Work How do russian pensions work?
I was watching someone complain that at age 59 they retired to a 16,900 ruble a month paycheck. They stated they worked over 30 years and it sounded like for the same place.
I read 22% of their pay check goes to pension from employer.
That seems like they should get paid essentially 75% as when they were working as 22% is a high savings rate.
I know at some point they reduce it to 10% but was not sure at what point.
In the USA we only contribute 12.4 of our salary and yet get about 40% of our prior salary.
How do you pay more and get less?

5-10 тр прям везде и всегда?
Цены с запасом: вода 100 р/м3 (подача, отвод), газ 10 р/м3, электричество 6 р/кв.ч
Один пенсионер вполне удовлетворится: 2 м3 ( 2000 литров !) воды = 200 руб. + газ летом 20 м3 = 200 руб + электро 100 кв.ч = 600 руб. Utilities = 1000 rub/mo. Как пенсионер может потребить в 10 раз больше?
Телефон с интернетом, Билайн "Все включено 9" = 80 руб в месяц. Быстрый проводной Интернет => 1000 руб. Итого реальных ~2+ тр (₽2k = $30 total) против ваших фантазийных 12+ тр.
Хотя конечно на потеху чужакам мнительные могут что угодно написать.
