Hi!
I wonder could anyone help me with this phrase in the following context? I don't understand why it's "dejarte": does it just mean to get a pension? It's from an interview with Miguel Delibes and he's talking about how after the civil war people with connections on the right side did well job-wise. Thank you very much!
Y no te hablo de los grandes enchufados, no, ésos aparte; me refiero, más bien, a aquellos pequeños “enchufitos”, lo suficientemente pingües para vivir decorosamente la vida y dejarte luego una jubilación.

leave you something to retire on
That's how I read it - you can live well and have something to retire on (or a nice little nest -egg).
