Pension forecast leaves newcomer "confused and concerned"
- American-born Geoffrey Greene, 36, says that he's had to become an "amateur enthusiast" to try to understand what he needs about the Swedish pension system.
- Greene tries to save between 30% and 70% of his paycheck to make up for the pension shortfall he faces as someone who moved to Sweden in adulthood.
- "I have to economize in every aspect of my life to secure my future at the expense of the present," he tells Radio Sweden.
