It is a surprising mobilization that can be seen in the processions of the demonstrations against the pension reform.

Worried about their future, young people march through the streets.

Some already think they have no retirement, and choose to create a small nest egg to ensure an income after 60 years.

They have just started working and yet the question of retirement is already on everyone's mind.

Young adults are increasingly likely to believe that they will not have a pension.

So for the latter, like Théophile, only one solution: put money aside as soon as possible.

The 28-year-old Parisian engineer is already anticipating and paying 300 euros each month into a retirement savings plan (PER) and life insurance.

"Given the number of years that I have to work, I will not leave [à la retirement, ndlr] not before at least 67 years old. That's when I will be able to receive my full pension, but I have the impression that the more time will pass, the more we will push back the age" of retirement, regrets the young man.

"And honestly, I would surely want to take it sooner", so I anticipate, he continues at the microphone of Europe 1. 

Property investment

Another strategy for Corentin, 29.

After taking out the calculator, the young man capitalized on the rental investment.

"I made an investment under Pinel law in an apartment in the South so that I could not ask myself questions and not look at the prices when I retired. I might not want to continue until at my 70, 75 years, to receive the maximum of the retirement", therefore the apartment could be used as supplement of income, explains the young man. 

Another option for Corentin, resell his property within ten years.

According to his calculations, the sale of his two-room apartment by the sea will make it possible to supplement his retirement pension by around 50%.
