Pension
Finally, my first pension payment date, the 15th of August, has come. The amount of my pension isn’t large, but at the present, it is enough for my pocket money, since my husband is still working. I remember my late mother was also pleased to start receiving her pension at the age of 65. In Japan, elderly people, whose age is older than 65, are supposed to receive their own pension. However, the government is planning to reform the pension system because of the declining birthdate in Japan. It is uncertain whether we will be still able to continue receiving a stable pension in the future. There are two main aspects included in the reform: the reduction of the amount of payment and the push-back of the age at which pensions are awarded. According to the current plan, if we decide to receive later than the age of 70 years old, we are supposed to be able to get more of a pension per year. However, who knows when we die? I chose to receive it from 65, but if I die by the age of 75, the total amount I get will be less than the amount of pension premium I played in total until the age of 60. I must survive until then for sure, otherwise I will be in a negative balance. Anyway, I am glad to reach 65 years of age without suffering any serious disease so far.
ついに私の最初の年金支給日である8月15日がやってきました。年金額は多くはありませんが、夫はまだ働いているので、今のところ小遣い程度にはなります。亡き母も65歳から年金をもらえるようになって喜んでいたのを覚えています。日本では65歳以上の高齢者は年金を受け取ることになっています。しかし、少子化が進んでいる日本では年金制度の改革が政府によって計画されています。今後も安定した年金をもらい続けられるかどうかは不透明です。改革には支給額の引き下げと年金支給開始年齢の引き下げという2つの大きな側面が含まれています。現在の計画では、70歳より遅く受け取ることにすれば、年間の年金受給額を増やすことができることになっています。しかし、いつ死ぬかは誰にもわかりません。私は65歳から受け取ることを選択しましたが、75歳までに死亡した場合、受け取る総額は60歳までに支払った年金保険料の総額よりも少なくなります。それまで確実に生き延びなければ、残高がマイナスになってしまいます。いずれにしても、今のところ大きな病気もなく65歳を迎えられてよかったです。

You are not wrong, but I believe this sounds more natural.

When you talk about the size of a pension, it's obvious that you're talking about the amount of money, so saying "the amount" is unnecessary.
In Japan, elderly people, wthose age iswho are older than 65, are supposed to receive their own pension.
In english, when talking about someone's age, you typically do not use the word "age" explicitly. For example, it sounds better to say "everyone in the house IS older than 30" rather than "everyone in the house HAS AN AGE older than 30."
It is uncertain whether we will be still be able to continue receiving a stable pension in the future.
There are two main aspects included in the reform: the reduction of the amount of payment and the push-back of the age at which pensions are awarded.
Great sentence form and use of the colon. When referring to a payment, we do not have to specify "the amount" because we know that "payment" deals with money.
According to the current plan, if we decide to receive our pension later than the age of 70 years old, we are supposed to be able to get more of afrom the pension per year.
However, who knows when we may die?
You might want to use the term "may" to indicate uncertainty.
I chose to receive it fromstarting at 65, but if I die by the age of 75, the total amount I get will be less than the amount of pension premium I playeaid in total until the age of 60.
