I also dislike the dependence on government. Bad outcomes are a fact of life and I really dislike people 'privitizing profits, while socializing losses.' I believe that if you don't save for retirement that you deserve to have to work until death. It's not like there's anything innately unfair or inhumane with this. Also it was only my grandparents generation that popularized the concept of living high on the hog after age 55.
