So many have told me that they regret wasting their youth by saving for their old age.
I live for today and so far tomorrow has taken care of itself. If I need more, I earn more. Always been able to make money to meet my lifestyle. I can die tomorrow with no regrets or unfinished business. My wife and I have not denied ourselves anything and we have had a great life as a result.
