Short excerpt from a YouTube episode (Ramit Sethi) where a speaker expresses fear of over-saving and delaying life experiences. The speaker worries that prioritizing saving—preparing to live to 100—will prevent travel and enjoyment while young, leading to regret later.
We're young. I want to do stuff now. I don't want to do anything because we feel like we don't have money. And then when we're 75, because he's going to live to 100, and I'm like, yeah, I. I don't see it that way at all. I had a mother that did everything. She always was going and going and going. Then she got sick and she didn't do anything. My greatest fear is that we're not going to spend any money now because he feels like we don't have the double income. And, you know, when we're older, I won't want to travel as much. And we're saving for time to live to 100 is what we're doing.
