You only live your life in today. That doesn't mean go crazy like there is no tommorow but damn if you have some extra cash enjoy yourself.
I don't go crazy trying to save to retire but I do my share. I agree with some of what you said but if you don't save now its to late when you get older. If times get tough you also have money set aside to get by. If you over spend you have neither. I have alot of older customers who failed to save and are just getting by living off SS and what ever else they have.
