Of course they are of utmost importance for the elderly, but they have great effect on the functioning of the national economy and everyone's welfare. Human life can be divided into three main phases: youth, productive years, and retirement. Youth is the period when a person, through education, acquires human capital, i.e., the ability to earn income throughout one's productive life. Acquisition of education, i.e., investment in human capital, is among the most important financial issues in a person's life. Another such issue is, of course, the accumulation of financial capital for retirement. Human capital acquired mostly during one's youth is gradually used up during one's productive life. Eventually one's physical and mental ability to work is depleted, and somewhere before or at that moment, one needs to replace human capital with financial assets allowing for comparable standard of li...]]></content:encoded>
