Many retirees in Switzerland can continue to put money aside, with a majority also willing to bequeath the money they have saved.

Some 44% said they spent about as much as they receive.
The remaining 22% use up at least part of their assets in old age. These figures haven't changed much in recent years, the study authors wrote.
Around 57% of those surveyed also stated that it was important to them to leave a few francs for the next generation.“The desire to be able to pass on some money is a strong motivation to continue saving in old age,” said study author Andreas Christen of Swiss Life.
And there is plenty to bequeath. According to the study, around half of retired taxpayers have gross assets of more than CHF300,000 ($320,000).
The“golden” generation of pensioners has also become more financially satisfied on average in recent years, according to the survey.“This is partly explained by the fact that around a third of the 65- to 79-year-olds surveyed have themselves inherited CHF100,000 or more,” Christen said.
