I am consultant winemaker and spend most of my time outside of France. I am now consulting for a Romanian company but they need invoices from a company. I am a resident in France and paid taxes on my income. My wife lives in France but does not work and I have an 18-year-old son who is now studying in the UK. During this time living in France I have not paid into the social security schemes.

1. Can I be auto-entrepreneur with a wage of €40,000 per annum ?
2. Is it worth paying into the social security scheme?
3. Is there a private pension scheme in France?
4. What would be the best way for me to proceed?
