Good job missing all those points that were right in front of your eyeballs, but you do you homie. I just hope that it comes to fruition for you.
I'm still confused as to what you think the better option is?
Live here, in the now. Go see the world. Go do new things. Experience the world while you still can.
Saving can wait when you know the world will be worth saving for.
Did you know it's possible to live your life right now and plan for the future?
Only if you have access to adequate resources
The point I’m trying, and failing, to get across to you is that what future are you planning for? Look around you, and see the evil things that are happening right now, look at the issues I’ve stated, and really absorb them.
Let’s take a look at it this way, your way. So, you save up now for later. Okay, got it. Now, that entire time you have been saving up, shit has gotten even worse. Healthcare is worse, education is worse, the ecosystem is worse. It’s literally gotten to the point where people no longer live the way we do right now in this very moment. Mass deaths, mass destruction, and mass extinction of the very things we need to survive. What are you going to do with all of those savings you worked hard for? The world is slowly dying, right now in 2024, so imagine for just 10 minutes what that world is going to look like when you’re old enough to retire. What are you going to spend that money on? Water? Because right now in 2024 there are wars going on over clean drinking water.
So, with all of that being presented to you, what are you truly saving up for right now? Can things change? Sure! But then, look at how slowly that progress has been made, and then realize that every step forward, humanity allows itself to slip 5 steps back. As I mentioned earlier, water, air, and wildlife are being polluted at very high rates. And it isn’t slowing down, on the contrary, it seems to be happening faster and faster each year!
What do you find saving for right now, worth it in these events I’ve described to you? That’s a VERY real reality that seems to be on course to happen before you can even retire in the first place.
