Sure it's not a bad idea to save. I've got some money in a 401K from the previous two companies I worked for that that I just transfered to an IRA, and I'll just let it sit there for the next 40 years for the fun of seeing what happens to it. (Hah! So funny, I never thought I saw money as fun but yet that's exactly what I saw with the money I transfered to a IRA a few weeks ago and thought it'd be fun to see how much it grows in 40 years if any while not counting on it)

Your point is valid though. Which means that of course one should also focus on steadily and continuously increasing one's earning ability throughout one's life with continuous learning.

Yeah, I think that's the way to do it - so that your savings just becomes a supplementary "nice if there, but not disastrous life-changing if it's not there".
