“I spend about one day a week working to earn my pension. What else can I do?”
Reviewing the status of your pension should be a routine matter, just like you check your salary, take out insurance, discuss a mortgage with your bank, have a medical check-up or visit the dentist. It’s one of those things you need to do once in a while, and every time you have, you’re relieved.
Pension is an important employment condition, no matter what age you are. Your pension plan not only provides you with retirement income, it also covers occupational disability insurance and benefits for your surviving dependants. That's why it's important to register your live-in partner at ING CDC Pensioenfonds if you're not married and don’t have a registered partnership agreement. Your pension is in fact a deferred part of your salary. You and your employer pay contributions into your pension fund every month. For 2018, your part of the contribution amounts to 6% while your employer contributes 27.85%. You’d probably like to know what the pension fund does with that money.
