Trust me....waiting until you're retired is much too late to start saving.
Trust me on this, if you are saving anything that can be taken away, it is a waste of your effort. I lost the effort of scrimping and saving for 28 out of my 50+ working years when the administration abrogated the bankruptcy laws. Now I have to scrimp and save anywhere I can just to enjoy life.
The hell with saving while you are young. Now I wish I had lived like the grasshopper.

That sounds like the same reasoning as "You might as well eat what you want and not waste your time exercising because we're all going to die anyway." As for me, I'm glad I saved, ate well, and exercised. Life keeps getting better for me.
"Glad I saved" fits me also. Started serious saving a little late (about 43), but saved in my company 401k and in mutual funds, both in well established fund companies (Vanguard and Fidelity) and am now retired and able to live comfortably.
