Danuta Błażejczyk says it straight: “I have a pension from the age of 45”

The topic of celebrity retirements comes back to the media discussion every now and then. This time, she shared her situation Danuta Blazejczyk – a singer whose career spans over 50 years. Although her musical successes have permanently entered the history of the Polish scene, her pension benefits are not as spectacular. As she admits, she has been receiving a pension since 2006, but due to the low amount, she has to earn extra money.

Danuta Błażejczyk’s retirement

Danuta Błażejczyk, known for such hits as “Such a miracle and honey“, recently gave an honest interview in which she admitted that her pension is surprisingly small.

“My pension is low, but I have had it since I was 45, because as a singer I could take advantage of such privileges” – she said in an interview with the Jastrząb Post portal.

The artist explained that in the past, female singers, like dancers or other artistic professions, could retire early. This was a result of privileges that were available to certain professional groups, such as miners or policemen.

50 years on stage and he gets the minimum wage

Błażejczyk has been professionally active for over half a century. She has collaborated with the most outstanding artists of the Polish stage, such as Wojciech Młynarski, the Pod Egidą cabaret or Maryla Rodowicz. Despite such a rich legacy, her pension does not commensurate with her artistic achievements.

Despite her small pension, the artist emphasizes that she has no complaints about life. “The pension is funny, because at the moment I get the minimum wage, but I have the strength and I work” – she confessed.

The artist, who has been professionally active for years, has no intention of giving up work as long as her health and energy allow her to do so. “As long as I can, I will work on my pension, and if not, I will manage to live on this modest one,” she added optimistically.

The singer emphasizes that she derives great joy from performing in front of the audience, who still sing along to her greatest hits. “It’s valuable to me and I’m incredibly happy that I can count on positive reactions from my fans. It gives me energy and desire to continue” – she emphasized in the conversation.
