The USA Today reports that the best nations for retirees are (in order): Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Germant, Canada, Netherlands, Iceland, Japan, USA, and UK.

The article from today's paper says:

"In Switzerland, by law, each worker's retirement fund must consist of contributions from a state-run pension plan, in addition to the pension from employers and tax-free personal savings similar to IRA accounts.

This combination of funds means that when workers retire, they receive a relatively high percentage of their former salary through the pension plan."

Interesting, isn't it that these places that provide most for retirees are the "socialist" countries?
