Two years ago, I joined ING as a customer advisor. It's a job that entails a lot of responsibility, because I coach and advise customers in important decisions that are crucial to the future of their business. I want to do my job as well as I can and make use of opportunities when they arise. I wasn’t worried about my pension future, which is typical to my generation, I suppose. My friends all think the same!
I was clueless when it came to pensions and felt embarrassed about that. After all, I work for a bank and felt I should be more knowledgeable in that field. But the topic just seemed so boring to me. Besides, you always hear that pensions are uncertain. No one can tell me what's in store for our generation, but still I try to prepare for the future as much as I can!’
Does Sietske's situation sound familiar to you? Using your DigiD, you can easily log in to the Pension Planner to find out more about your pension. If you want to use the Planner together with your partner, both of you will need your DigiD. You could also check Pension 1-2-3 for an explanation of the CDC pension plan.
