  • What is something you cannot afford now but would like to in the future?
    One day I’d like to buy a sports car, but unfortunately now I don’t have very much money.
  • When do you want to hang up your hat?
    I don’t know yet, but I hope to retire when I’m 65.
  • Is the birth rate higher or lower than 50 years ago?
    I think that it is lower as there are fewer and fewer babies born these days.
  • Do people who retire get a state pension in your country?
    Unfortunately, you don’t get any money from the government. You have to save throughout your life.
  • What is the retirement age for men and women in your country?
    In my country, women and men retire at 65.
  • Do you think the average human lifespan will increase in the next 20 years?
    Yes, I do. Thanks to medical advances, we will live longer.
  • What are the effects of an aging population?
    First of all, we will need more nurses and health services if there are more and more older people.
  • What are the ways to increase your savings?
    One of them is to analyse your budget regularly and see how you can save more.
