Question would be: what would be a solid and reliable alternative that is also affordable by regular people? I hear "buy property or build a house" a lot, but that doesn't seem like an easy affordable alternative.

What works against the pension funds works to your advantage if you can leverage some funds. Depending on your location you may be able to leverage a relatively small amount of money (20-30%) to buy a property that will give you more than enough return to pay for the interest and the pay-off on the principal. You need to be relatively young for that to work though, if you are close to retirement age then this isn't going to generate enough yield compared to the sum invested.
