Pension survey. Gasoline prices. Football and politics. Wednesday’s weather.

Pension survey

Initially, the topic is pension.

Finns do not believe that their pension will be enough to cover all their expenses in the future.

This is clear from a survey by the Finnish Pension Insurance Companies.

60 percent of respondents estimate that in 2050, the pension will not be enough to cover living expenses.

Young people in particular are pessimistic. This is how Eino Köntti thinks:

– I don’t think so. I feel like there’s too little left to live on. But food, housing, all that. I don’t think it’s enough.

Some Finns no longer trust the pension system’s solvency.

Still, many respondents wanted the current pension system not to be changed.

Then there is the issue of fuel prices.

The government is considering ways to lower the price of gasoline and diesel.

The Finnish Football Association is receiving criticism for organizing the game. The reason is that Belarus supports Russia in the war in Ukraine.
