What if you are too old and cannot work?

Pensions and social security are indexed to inflation. 401ks should beat or match inflation.

Pensions in Finland are not "indexed to inflation" in the sense that you mean. Our pensions are wildly underfunded and people of working age generally expect to get back LESS than the NOMINAL VALUE of what they've paid towards their pensions during their working life (*when we count "employer contribution" into "employee contribution", which is what it is in reality).

Investments outpace inflation even more than wages (r>g).
