Why oh why did my 401k die?

If a person was ambitious and took chances in his or her 20s, 30s, and 40s, is being a bit less professionally ambitious and growth-oriented in the 50s and 60s really so bad? I'm not talking about slacking off so much as easing up in favor of channeling one's energy elsewhere. You're the one who's always saying nobody says on their deathbead I should have spent more time at the office.
I hope to hell I have a safety net when I'm in my 50s, especially in light of how difficult it is to find a job or switch careers at that age.

Most of the people who took chances in 20-40s don't find themselves relying on pensions. A lot of people hit a point where they realize they have to work for themselves to make as much as they want.
