Saving money should be the starting point as you plan for the future.
Maybe you want to buy a new house, start your own business, or finally take that exotic vacation. Start putting money aside today to make those plans attainable. You'll also build up a financial cushion to shield you and your family from life's unforeseen events.
What will happen if you become unable to work? Will your family be provided for if you die? Make sure you have adequate pension and disability coverage under the Swiss three-pillar system.
Retirement will have a major impact on your lifestyle and finances, and there are some things you should start considering as soon as you turn 50. One of them is when you want to retire: at the legal age, earlier, or later?
With a full career behind you, you're now ready to enjoy your golden years. Make sure you have enough income to cover your day-to-day expenses, hobbies, and other needs.
