Statistically the worst place in Europe for retired pensioners to live is....yes......Finland !
The monthly very basic health costs alone for myself, a fit, simple living 75 yr old is usually more than the pension I get !
I eat popcorn and cabbage 5 days a week and borrow money from friends to buy real food.
Today an elderly well dressed lady ask me if I could give her 2 euros. I was ashamed to tell her I had no money at all, Meanwhile an elderly man was searching the street rubbish bins !
I am still paying collection fees to Intrum Justicia for last winter electricity bill! etc etc
I need operation for Prostate and ankle problem . I have been trying in vain for several years now to save in order to have the treatment etc etc, but this year I needed to have a tooth removed because the
treatment to save the tooth was too expensive etc etc
Oh I live in a mokki with no water and electric heating too expensive. I have no transport to get wood, naturally I have no TV nor bicycle.
Yeah, I reckon anywhere else may be a better proposition but......how ?
