    IT now takes the average Singaporean nine more years to build up his or her retirement nest egg than it did in the past.

    A report by HSBC titled "Future of Retirement: Generations and Journeys" has found that the average Singaporean starts saving for retirement at age 32 and continues for the next 29 years; their predecessors started doing so only at age 39, and saved for an average of 20 years.
