I’m being diagnosed for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which apparently has an average lifespan till 48 years old. I’d rather keep the extra income and enjoy the life while I’m alive, so I was wondering which countries don’t have mandatory pension contributions. I tried to look it up, but I couldn’t find any articles which just lists all countries on that basis. If anyone knows how to find it, I’d appreciate, but I’d also appreciate just a singular country example.

    Disclaimer that I do not know where you live. However, if you have say public funded health care, then I think paying for pension you might not get to be a non-issue. Further, many contribute to health care they do not receive themselves. This is the way it should be since burdens should be shared and one should receive based on needs.

    If you are in a capitalist hellhole without crumbles of social policies, I just feel sorry for you. The issue is still really not about paying for pensions, but lack of social security besides that. Good luck with your health and do not forget that medical advances are frequent these days.
