Default Investing/Saving for Retirement

Do you give it much thought?

Excluding state or private pension, there seems to be 3 main ways,

1. cash on deposit at the highest rate
that you can find and feel safe with.
Then you`ve got inflation eating away at
your capital sum.

2. Company Shares, hoping that dividend income
and growth will keep pace with inflation.

3. Rental property, with all it`s inherent hassles whether in your home country
or elsewhere,again hoping that rental yields
keep pace with inflation,

Any other ideas?
Would you choose a mix of the above , if so,
what % would you put in each and why?
