What local options are available to expats, either public or private, to help you save for retirement?

The best way is to start your own business and make it successful and make loads of money. I started mine when I was 34 years old with basically no initial financial investment and made a million quid after the first year. Then buy lots of properties with mortgages and rent them out. Also have lots of private pensions and top up your state pension. Very important is to wait for some big inheritance payouts from relatives. If you live not too long your money will go further.
