A recorded monologue from the YouTube video "How to be AND stay rich!" (Ramit Sethi). The speaker reflects on the tension between enjoying money while young versus hoarding for old age, expressing fear that over-saving now will lead to missed experiences later and that they are "saving for time to live to 100." The excerpt is a personal anecdote about balancing spending and long-term financial planning.
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.
