nest eggs
Money for later
Nest eggs are savings set aside for the future, especially for retirement.
The term comes from the practice of leaving an egg in a hen's nest to encourage more laying.
A nest egg implies money accumulated gradually over time: She built up a nice nest egg over thirty years of teaching.
The singular nest egg refers to the fund itself or a sum that starts a larger savings.
