Antonio is a retiree with a pension of 1,000 euros who says that, with the pension, you have to do the math, because the amount they receive is so low that it continues to be insufficient to cover all expenses. His statements come in the context of the continuous increase in the cost of living affecting many retirees, especially those who receive more modest pensions.
Although contributory pensions have been revalued in recent years in line with inflation, many retirees claim that the increase in food, energy, and housing prices continues to make it difficult to make ends meet. The financial situation of these elderly people remains tight, even after the salary adjustments implemented to keep up with rising prices.
