So common is this new generation of pensioner that it has even earned its own sobriquet: the "SKI set", SKI an acronym for the fact that they are merrily Spending their Kids' Inheritance.

And as the pensions are shrinking, the younger generation is facing a less rosy retirement than their parents.

"It seems unlikely that the children of the SKI generation will be able to enjoy the same "golden age" as their parents. Any inheritance they do receive may go some way to making up their own retirement shortfall," the Daily Mail quoted Professor Dominic Swords, from the London Business School, as saying.

"People are realising that the sums they need to save are large, and they might not be able to do that on their own, so that inherited wealth may become more of an important part of their financial planning," added Swords.

A recent survey by insurance giant Aviva revealed the changing nature of life for many of Britain's SKI generation. Just 20 years ago, most pensioners believed they would spend their retirement babysitting their grandchildren, gardening and reading.
