In Finland: Pension payments are at all time high: 24.4% of my salary. It feels like a robbery.

@PM_ME_FLUFFY_SHIBES Sorry, to confirm, are you happy pensions are at 24.4% of your salary or mad?

So the increase is because of inflation right? Raising rates for workers so pensioners get a cost of living adjustment?

The alternative would be, what I can only imagine to be, dubious taxation.

It's because there are less (future) taxpayers than there are pensioners so we have to pay more.
