I know for a fact that most of our friends and my co-workers aren't saving nearly as much as they should towards retirement. So, this isn't just a problem for folks making the median income. In fact, I think that people in the higher brackets will be far more disappointed in their "golden years" because they'll suffer a much greater decline in lifestyle than those who earn less.

I'm right there with you. In fact, my family and I were featured in an article in a national magazine a few years ago due to our frugal habits and living below our means, because it is so rare among physicians.
Lots of people think all their financial problems would go away if only they earned more. The reality, however, is as income rises, they just increase their spending to match so they are no better off. The secret for most isn't to earn more but to spend less.
