If the alternative is between saving for retirement and cryonics

In my case (and I think for a significant number of others on lw) the alternative is donating more to effective charities. When your money might be going to helping people now or reducing existential risk we have a real tradeoff.

So your savings for retirement is < the cost of cryonics? I doubt this is true for many lw >30 years old.
