On surveys data it is shown that the practice to save has become more common. Over the life cycle propensity to save has an U-shaped form, being maximal in the early stages of the family formation and in the latest ones. Rare practices to save Тfor old ageУ among the middle-age working people make it relevant to induce changes in financial behavior of households in the context of the ongoing pension reform.
