Does a Lifetime of Hardwork Entitle You to Financial Security in Your Retirement?

Not in my opinion...

Look at it this way if you are ENTITLED to financial security, why save for any reason? Spend every cent you earn as soon as you earn it since the mere fact that you work hard entitles you to financial security.
In fact if this argument is true shouldn't you be entitled to the same standard of living as a person who saves and pinches pennies, after all you worked just as hard as he did (he just chose to save and you chose to spend). So why should you be entitled to any less than he has?

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
