Russians named the optimal size of pension

Russian residents consider a pension of Br110 thousand acceptable for living. Such data were shared by analysts of "VSK Insurance House" on December 9.

"Russians consider the amount of 110 thousand rubles to be an acceptable pension. <...> If at the beginning of the year almost every second Russian counted on the amount of 50-100 thousand rubles, then by the end of the year this figure has changed to every third respondent", - stated in the results of the survey, which quotes "RIA Novosti".

It is specified that the share of Russians who consider the optimal pension in the amount of 100-200 thousand rubles has increased to 25%.

According to experts, every second Russian has not yet formed savings for retirement, another 32.7% of respondents do not plan to do so.

It is noted that men with a high level of income have the greatest financial literacy - 33%. People with average income (38%) and do not have children (41%) think little about the financial safety cushion.

In addition, analysts noted that 80% of respondents plan to meet old age at home, 9% would like to live abroad and 11% have not yet thought about it.

The highest expectations from the pension were among citizens with a high level of income, primarily residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg, added "Gazeta.Ru".
