My daddy always said there were two sides to a coin and here is the other side.
My FIL had the same do it now and never wait attitude. He made a lot of money and spent it as fast as he made it so he could do his bucket list while young. And he did. Fast cars, tons of guns and toys. He did a lot of cool stuff and did a lot of cool things in his life.
He is 70 now and all of the cars and guns and toys are gone. He lives in assisted housing because he can't afford to pay rent and live. He lives on something like $800 a month. He can't really make ends meet because he has no money. Sad really. I don't think he thinks it was a great idea now. Maybe he does, I don't know?
Remember; Morgan Freeman could not do his bucket list without the wealth of Jack Nicholson. There is a lot of Morgan Freemans but not so many Jack Nicholson's.
My daughter had a great idea when she was only 8 years old. She told me one day; dad, the world is backwards. I asked, what do you mean? She said, people should be born old and then go backwards in life. I asked why? She said when you're old you can't do anything because you're old. You have all this money that you made in your life but you can't really enjoy it. When you're young, you have your health but no money so you can't do anything.
She went on the say, that way when you are young you have a bunch of money and your health and you can do all of this stuff and have a lot of fun!!
Wow, she is now 17 and on her way to being a dentist. I thought this was pretty astute thinking for an 8 YO.
I always thought it would make a great Stephen King movie. :B
