pension
*
is one thing - but there are also the
cost of living
.
And the
purchasing power of pensions in
particular
varies depending on the region in Germany, according to
a report by the SZ.
What can retirees * actually afford and where?
The report refers to a study by Prognos AG for the "7 years longer" initiative, which the German Insurance Association (GDV) launched.
The
cost of living of retirees in 401 districts and urban districts was
compared
.
The result, writes SZ.de: The retiree paradises are currently more in the
new federal states
.
Pensioners there have more of their
money
, also because
rents are
often
much cheaper than in the west
.
According to the study,
pensioners in expensive Munich have a purchasing power of 763 euros
.
In the
Brandenburg district of Elbe-Elster, however
, the real value would be 1,158 euros.

Study: Place of residence influences prosperity in old age
An author of the study is quoted in the report as quoted by one of the authors of the study, as quoted in the report
that the place of residence has a major influence on the cost of living and thus prosperity in old age

more expensive areas
do not necessarily have to be less attractive, since
wages and pensions there tend to be higher than in cheaper regions
.

that life
is
particularly expensive for pensioners * in Bavaria
- Munich in the lead.
Seven of the ten most expensive retirement homes in Germany are located in the Free State.
Behind the state capital, the
districts of Munich
and
Starnberg are
on the other places in the Germany-wide ranking.

40 of the 50 most expensive regions are spread across Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse
