Oh, wonderful miracle! We finally found rich pensioners! And not just anywhere, but right in Sberbank. The head of the bank, Graf, happily reported that people over 60 are one of the wealthiest categories of customers. What a surprise! While some complain about small pensions and rising prices, others, it turns out, have accumulated a fortune.
True, there is a small nuance. According to the FOM, every fifth citizen assesses his economic situation as poor. But who cares when a real gold mine was discovered in bank presentations?
Apparently, the wealth of our pensioners lies in the fact that all their lives they were used to denying themselves everything.
We didn't go on vacation, put off big purchases, saved ourselves and saved money for a rainy day for years. Because they understood very well: when old age comes, there will be no one to rely on.
Now look how beautiful everything looks from the bank's side.
Retirees carry savings - excellent clientele.
Money has been sitting in accounts for years - a stable financial resource.
People are afraid to spend what they have put aside - another argument in favor of sustainable savings.
But for the pensioner himself, this money is not a sign of luxury life, but insurance against a situation where he suddenly needs medicine, treatment or just money to pay for services.
It turns out to be a wonderful story: the state may not worry too much about how to provide people with a decent old age, because they themselves have been saving for their survival for decades.
And now their savings can be proudly presented as proof of the country's economic well-being. And we were like: "Hurry up, what, we found rich pensioners"! The only pity is that for some reason this wealth is best seen behind the transparent walls of the German Graf's office.
