So probably mostly for retirement. The problem is that I’ve been moving between counties and studying and doing stuff so I’m afraid it will be impossible to collect it from all the countries together so that I can get a normal pension, so I will have to work quite long and yeah if I’m lucky and get old then I’ll be probably very poor.
Oh that’s concerning indeed. I know that at least in some countries you are allowed to get back your pension contributions if you demonstrate you are emigrating from it. No such luck for you?
I haven’t really looked into all the details yet because this seems like a very long procedure. But some day I have to do it. My dad worked in Poland in a coal mine until he was 34, then he moved to Germany. In his case they had some agreement between the countries and he is getting his money as if he had worked in Germany the whole time.

Yep that’s a tricky one. How long till you retire?
I’m only 46, but let’s see when I can retire :D
You’re never to young to start
