How would you see your life after you retire?
I know that for some of you it is something from the unbelievable future, but still, make a presumption and a serious thinking about this

Today's world is so complex, that I really doubt we will survive until the retirement age. Really.

Well, in the case, I totally agree with your thought here, Steven.

All I know is try to live everyday like your last day and you won't be regretted of it after all!

Alot of vodka, balalaikas, and bears.

I'm happy to see some very optimistic people here.

Carpe diem, my friends!

[M.Helen]

what is "balalaikas" anyways?

[Newrussian town]

Balalaika- it is traditional russian music tool. So all foreigners think that we are only drink vodka with bears, and play on a balalaikas, and time for time attacking the little countries

I'm young and consider it early to think about retirements plans. However I know that life is short. The only thing I'm doing know in this matter is the fact I pay social insurance to our state. I hope it will offer me a respectable living at my retirement.

[Steven]

I hope when I'm old I won't be alone and will have support from my children and of course from the state.

I have opened a special bank deposit for my retirement age. Each month, I transfer 1.2% of my salary. The bank promised me significant pensions when I retire.

If that's not a secret, how much would you have by the time you retire in your bank account with the deposite rate in compund

It depends on how much my salary is going to raise. But, I believe I should receive somewhere about 25k euros at once when I retire plus 1,200-1,500 euros monthly. I guess that should be more than enough for me.

[Benn]

yes, but actually it is nothing in comparison to what the insurance company gets.
Most European and American people, when they retire, they begin traveling all over the world. To me, this is boring, I would rather prefer staying at home with my family.

[M.Helen]

The point is that pensioners have a lot of savings. So they try to spend it until the rest of their lives. Otherwise what do they do with these savings? Traveling is the answer.
