A comfortable existence for an old-age benefit will remain only a dream. Such a disappointing prognosis in the conversation with the correspondent of "Utra" was made by the Tarolologist, clinical psychologist, Ph.D. Marianna Abravitova. Marianna Abravitova.

But on the other hand, it is easier for pensioners not to become. "The fact is that the insignificant increase in pensions, which can be expected this year, is still inferior to the rapid growth of prices for goods, utility tariffs and so on. The general economic field this year will be quite tough for Russia, and in general regarding finance this year will not be the easiest for the whole world, which is talking about our pensioners, "said Abravitova. The economist noted that the economy's improvement, of course, is taking place, but rather slowly, because of what such categories of citizens as pensioners will not feel significant improvements in the quality of life this year. According to Marianne's forecast, Russians will have to tighten their belts even more next year and will be ready to raise their retirement age. "Unfortunately, this will happen, and it is likely that as early as 2018. The division of public opinion on this issue, which can now be seen in the media, is, you can say, the training of citizens to the fact that at one "perfect" moment it will happen, "the expert said.. Tarologist stressed that several months of 2018 will be particularly difficult. So, it's time to tighten the belts and try to put aside any funds just in case before the February approach - traditionally this month brings unexpected financial losses with modest incomes. "The next hard month is August.

Despite the large financial inflow, the costs in this month are usually much greater and you risk remaining without funds long before it ends, "the expert continued.. "And the last critical month, perhaps the most difficult - November. In these three months, people with small incomes will have a hard time, so their offensive should be prepared in advance and, as far as possible, to hedge themselves: somewhere to avoid unnecessary waste, somewhere to dig, not to lend, and not get involved in questionable financial transactions, "- concluded Marianna Abravitova.
