and then those health problems turn out to be so expensive that the cost far exceeds what you can afford through your 401k anyway. I'm not saying no planning should be done, I'm saying that your planning should lean more favorably toward the present than the far future. For many, 10-15% of income is so much of a sacrifice that I'm willing to bet the payoff wouldn't be worth it in most cases.
