At 68, Éliane became interested in the aids she could benefit from and she allowed her to make the most of her retirement.
When you come back to retirement, it is essential to find an occupation: it can be an artistic passion or activity that you have always wanted to do without finding the time to work, a sporting or musical activity, or simply a walk, shopping, go to the market, cook, see your grandchildren or go to the cinema. Indeed, the most fulfilled retirees are those who have remained active since they have left their jobs and who continue to see people around them. But you still have to be mobilized.
For Éliane, who lives in Paris, travel is rather rare, or at least around the house. “I do everything on foot, it allows me to walk every day and talk to myself”confides Éliane, who admits rarely taking the car in the capital. “Finding a place to park has become far too complicated and especially too expensive, and then with the limitation from 30 km/h, we also avoid fines“, She deplores. Fortunately, after more than a decade to live in her apartment in the 12th arrondissement, the young retiree has just discovered that she had the right to aid from the state of which she had not been aware.
“”I earn 1200 euros of retirement per month, and until then, I never really had the right to anything. So, I recently took matters into my own hands by informing myself more seriously about my situation and I realized that I could benefit from free senior Paris and Access Pass and Access“, Explains Éliane explains to us. This aid granted to Parisians over 65 or disabled allows her to access all public transport for free. Éliane can now take the tram, bus, metro, RER or the transilian in the capital, but also throughout Ile-de-France.” I lost a few years, because I was really not aware of this help, “says Eliane, Take advantage of other retirees who – like her – ignored it.
