I feel you. Just got my letter what kind of pension I can expect. If it ever happens. Let's just say it's not looking good. It does make you wonder why you didn't just chose a much easier job when the stress and additional hours net you ~100 € more that won't save you from being meh financially at best anyway.

One friend of mine was lucky enough to get a real good job. He was able to buy property and have a family. The rest of my friend group, we all worked just as hard. But we weren't lucky so no family or peace of mind for us I guess. It's demotivating.
