This topic raises important theoretical and empirical questions: How financial decisions of older people can influence on the welfare and overall well-being? What kind of financial behavior strategies adhere to the older people? Quantitative and qualitative evidence on financial perspectives shall be compared from Tomsk region and Russia. We also compared the data obtained during the sociological survey in the Tomsk region. The authors identify the results of the influence factors. For instance, uncertainty in the reliability of any kind of saving investment, low awareness of existing savings alternatives, and lack of habits of personal financial planning, the protection of the rights of Russian consumers in the financial services market, unfair practices of financial institutions.
