My future wife and I are wondering whether she should continue to contribute to her retirement fund, but from what I understand by now, she will lose it once we are married, this obviously happening in a couple of weeks in China ... I'll ask her to check out the situation, she is a city citizen, I wonder what other rights and advantages she will lose...
All the same, the retirement is not a humongous amount, her mom gets it and well, my impression is that she's not that well off financially although she's not starving either ... she did give me red envelope, I was quite surprised, especially since I'm divorced. I'm not being asked to give a red envelope for the marriage as of yet, but you never know, this could still happen :angel:
The retirement amount seems to vary greatly with the level of career. My ex gf's parents both worked, one as a quality engineer, the other as a factory director with up to 20,000 workers ... party members of course, they got to keep their apartment which was provided with the job, and they are quite comfortable, even by Western standards, 50" plasma TV ... nice and modern apartment ...
oh, post number 555 hehe
