Retirement: I'm grateful for the work, but I don't get paid'

most of us are doing it around the age of 65: the kantoordeur definitely shut it and retire. In the category of a pension, we will ask retirees for their lives after a paid job, they have been looking forward to this or not? It is able to make ends meet, and where will all this new free time, want to go? This week, William Doornbos, who volunteered to teach at a refugee.

"no, Not really, because I work pretty closely on Refugees. I am not in the world. I've had over the years, various employers, and now in my retirement from a single employer and cash it out. I have worked for six years at a technology company, we will be there for about € 40 per month pension."

"In 2011, I became unemployed and since then I have had several jobs in the past but for the last eight years, I do mostly volunteer work and I do have a lesson to other individuals. That does not a lot. That's a few tens per month, which is where my wife and I occasionally go out to eat."

“I really don't want to be with upon early retirement, I will retire on a date!”

"No, of course, but my wife is the breadwinner. My pension payments, is fragmented. I'll leave the rest of the pension, which I have built by my former employer, from the age of 65 to pay, and that's about it for up to a year. Two years later, she is still the AOW with it. It will amount to such an amount that it is similar to a pension benefit. But really, nothing has changed: I will continue my work as a volunteer at the Refugee council, just do it! I am doing what I am good at it and draw my own plans. This is why it works."

"it is what It is. My wife works the same way for the Dutch council for Refugees as co-ordinator, a paid-for feature. So, I'll be there too. There is very little room for the hiring of paid staff, the foundation needs the financial of the paid-for services, grants or subsidies. But the Dutch council for Refugees) puts me in a position to be able to do what I needed, and that means that the refugees have useful things to learn. Since I experience a lot of fun to work with."

“It's not a pot of fat, but we have a lot of great things to do.”

"Grateful for the work! I can teach refugees the basics of ICT skills. I was accepted to basic skills such as Excel and Word. However, you should still continue to go back to the basics. Some of the refugees are from Eritrea, and Somalia are illiterate, for example. The Dutch customs is also very different. I have a question, for example, after a lesson, if you have any questions. I have never been there. Asking questions are in many cultures it is impolite to found. In the Netherlands, it is by asking questions good news: you're showing an interest. If you are going to apply for it, I say, do you also have any questions and if you like we clear?"

"in addition, I am teaching them with the most relevant web sites in the Netherlands. MijnOverheid, Digital, Gratisoptehalen, the Randstad area and in the market place. I have seen this module has been developed and that is what makes the work satisfying!"

"no, No, no, not really. When my wife retires we will have a good life. It is not a pot of fat, but we have a lot of great things to do. What I did wrong was that I was at a previous employer, where I have the most of retirement will have built the 'early retirement benefit' must be requested. This is a very small administrative operation, but it is a nonsense. I really don't want to be with upon early retirement, I will retire on the due date! We have, at the time, an age agreed upon, and that agreement is not being complied with."
