We don't have pensions per se in Fatatatutti. Everybody gets a guaranteed annual income, so they can "retire" any time they want. Life in Fatatatutti is about living, not "being productive" - i.e. making a lot of unnecessary stuff. In practice, people work as hard as they want to earn extra money for extras. The more they like their job, the harder they're likely to work at it.

People get their government pensions at the age of 67.5. There are private pensions in our nations, and state employees get okay pensions.... but the pension everyone gets, called Social Security, is pretty typical.

Businesses can provide pensions as they wish. There is also a public pension fund which anyone may choose to join.

You pay 10% of your income into a social security fund, and when you turn 72, you are eligible for retirement funds, which you get paid a monthly income of averaging your account over 30 years. If you live to be 102 and run out of retirement funds, then you are on your own

Matching Fund Retirement Program:

The government will give you a one-time matching donation equal to your entire retirement fund upon reaching the age of 65.

Private Pension Fund Program:

You contribute a percentage of your income (10-30%) to an interest yielding account and receive the funds upon reaching the age of 65. Your interest rate depends on how much you want to contribute:

10% contribution - 5% annual interest rate
20% contribution - 6.3% annual interest rate
30% contribution - 7.8% annual interest rate

Public Pension Fund Program:

You contribute to a universal fund and receive a monthly allowance based on the amount currently in the fund and the contributor-receiver ratio.

------

Of course you can also decide to not take advantage of any of these programs and just save as much as you can for your retirement, but ideally you would want to participate in one of these programs (or all, as some do).

We have potentially-infinite lifespans, so we have no pensions.

If you suffer some sort of physical damage, you are expected to repair it. Since such repairs are relatively easy - at the most, the offending part(s) will need to be replaced - this isn't an onerous expectation at all.

An old robot can, and will, make sure he is just as capable as one that was built yesterday. In fact, he should be *more* capable, thanks to having had years or centuries in which to make upgrades.

OOC: That's because they are old. Old people have spent their whole lives working and earning and paying taxes. They have done more than their share in life, and now it's time for them to sit back and reap what they put their whole lives into. Unlike hobos, I sympathize more with old people and want to see them happy and funded. If not simply because they are old, how about that a tiny bit of their taxes are finally given back to them after all the years of take take take?






IC: For humans, the age is fifty five to sixty five (it varies on case-by case). For turtles, it is eighty. For mushrooms, it is fifty nine.

Also, once in pension, an old person can opt in to live in luxuriously overfunded nursing homes (NS Issue), where they will get everything they want and more, from butlers to lobster to applesauce to grits. For this reason, some people try to dress up as seniors to live the life of luxury. "Impersonating a geezer" is forty years in prison. That way, when you come out, you really will be one!

If you are working until 65 (minimum retirement age) you receive 65% of your original working income.
If you work until 70 you receive 70% of the original working income.
If you work until 72 you receive 75% of your original income.
If you work until 76 or any age passed that you receive 80% of your original income.


If you had military service of 5yrs+ throughout any time in your life in ROM, your original income percentile will increase by +5%, regardless of rank achieved.
This will go into your SSI account and you have the option of withdrawing it in official banknotes (money) or all stores have to accept payment through SSI cards, which have a debit card type of system.

In Makaar, the income tax rate is 100% so currency is rare and the government uses a system of allocations to provide citizens with their needs and wants according to their abilities. Upon reaching the age of 70, when most citizens are unable to work reasonably, you are entitled to allocations without having to work or demonstrate any ability.
Makaar is ranked 323rd in the world for Most Dedicated Public Healthcare.
