"내년엔 집에서 쉬라더군요" 연금 91만 원 쥐고도 매일 잘릴까 봐 가슴 졸이는 74세

I receive a pension of 910,000 won. This is 210,000 won more than the overall average old-age pension. It is the result of paying the National Pension without fail for 25 years. However, this person goes to work at 5 a.m. every day. He is 74 years old and works as an apartment cleaner. For the past 17 years, he has been repeating one-year contracts. Every December, the same anxiety sets in: Will my contract be renewed this year? Last year, a colleague I worked with was not renewed despite having worked for 19 years. The reason given was his age. You might think that 910,000 won is enough. However, if you combine management fees, utilities, communication costs, insurance premiums, medical expenses for the couple, and food costs, at least 1.25 million won is needed per month. Even including the basic pension, it amounts to 1.08 million won. It is insufficient every month. The cleaner's monthly salary of 1.48 million won is covering this deficit. The moment this 1.48 million won disappears, everything collapses. If you get fired, it's over.
