“Double down” on your youth, people!!! Believe me, old age is nothing worth saving up for! If the wherewithal for pleasure (aka happiness) exists now, then pursue it now, for Chrissakes! That last statement bears repeating, if only for its jarring truthfulness: Pursue pleasure NOW in those immediate environs where you may happen to see it flourishing; do NOT assume greater pleasure is lurking somewhere out there way yonder, patiently waiting for your imminent arrival in the unseen future. THESE are the best days of your life, unquestionably, not some romantic notions of a golden retirement when you are in your seventies and impotent and semi-demented and infirm, and vulturine inheritors come skulking around your life’s perimeter akin to a pack of jackals in anticipation of a financial windfall the moment you stop breathing.
