German term or phrase: Altersversorgungsbaustein aufbauen
Interview with the CEO of an insurance company:

"Viele Geschäftsführer, Führungskräfte und Arbeitnehmer kennen beispielsweise den neuen Steuerfreibetrag nach Paragraph 3, Nr. 63 nicht. Hiermit können sie aus ihrem Bruttogehalt, und somit steuerfrei, einen **Altersversorgungsbaustein aufbauen**, der vom Ergebnis wesentlich mehr bietet als eine vergleichbare private Altersvorsorge..."

agree Anglo-German: Und als konstruktive Ergänzung: build up a basic r. pension? Da es sich um einen gesprochenen Text handelt, ist der Lapsus *Baustein aufbauen* verständlich, normalerweise baut natürlich keinen Baustein auf, sondern was Größeres aus mehreren.

disagree dercarson: das ist kein Lapsus, glaube ich. nach meinem verständnis kann man durchaus einen baustein aufbauen. insbesondere weil dies über jahre -aufgebaut- werden muss. Also, you'll lose the idea of using this method to build a piece of a large retirement package

agree dercarson: I like the second idea a lot better. Use 'building block' though, as 'bloc' is used to talk about factions, or groups of nations, in opposition to others
