Christine Bravo says her monthly pension is €3,000

Her pension is above the average cited for French retirees, though she acknowledged that many people receive less.

What people are saying
Now I have a €3,000 pension. I wonder how that is possible. So, it is much more than many French people get, I’m aware of that. But compared with what I paid in contributions… There were years when I paid 150,000 francs in taxes.
I don’t do things for free. I ask for a fee, and it’s a big fee. Now it’s €3,000.
