I say ‘in Germany’ because there’s where I reside, a welfare state.

We don’t have 401K here, but public retirement systems, mandatory.

My employer also matches what I put in a small state pension system up to 50 euros. Not really much, better than nothing.

What number do I have to reach for a decent retirement? Retirement age: 67 years old.

Is it enough to save or do I have to invest?
