I wonder why many say that their better future is 10 years after graduation, 20 years after marriage. I have read a line from a brilliant writer/ researcher that one must not believe a future built in many years but, built next day. How could you be sure that you are still alive after your expected years to happen. Do not believe that your marriage may last for many years if you have a materialistic wife or drunkard and addict husband. That was the explanation of that researcher, sorry to forget his name. all that I recall is his line about future, which I agree.

Why I agree because I speculated that after 10 years, I will become rich hahahaha, I have learned along the way, that if teaching job is concerned as to what I expect to be, would be wrong. I learned it as years go by. But I can also attest that if we only save money, there is a possibility that we will become millionaires after 25 years of saving 10% of our income monthly.

This was also the calculation of Albert Einstein that those who save money will surely become millionaires. If not, man must save enough so when time comes that the body is weak and cannot anymore work, there is money ready to work for him not that during old age you are still working hard for the money.

My dear friend cely, this very topic is interesting i gree with you, you know many of use don’t really know how to grab opportunity, it is a lack of understanding and procasination, for there is no better time or years to grab opportunity nor to begin reason responsibly, wonder why this very thing well fail to understand, someone can be a millionaire between from 18 and 20years can be a millionaire there is no better time age, years, to achieve success it is all by determination, if i work hard i can be a millionaire before getting married, there is no time, there is some people only no how to spend money, but they don’t really how to save even a little for tomorrow,  some of all these people who spend reckless are politicans they useless they money women forget that tomorrow they will be out of office, so i can remember a local government chairman here who total spend all his time uselessly when he was in the office he forget that one day he will come out of that office and after his tenure he became a taxi driver, that is abuse office and completely a failure, this is nice

@Elom ikechukwu awoke , there are so many like the person you mentioned in your discussion. There are so many blinded with too much greed of money and power. Yes, there is no permanence of life and later or sooner we will wake up money less or wake up sleeping in a dirty street. In our country there are some famous movie actors and actresses , but they abuse their hard earned money by taking illegal drugs. The result was, they made the drug lord richer and wealthier and they poorer.

Where are these famous actors and actresses now? hehehe instead from rags to riches, riches to rags. They are now living under the bridge. Others get shelter  in carts. They cannot anymore remember themselves. People in the country where I live felt so devastated seeing them beggary looking. They manage to beg to their friends in the movie industry , but of course, it won’t be made life time help for they also have their own families to feed.

That is why, we have to save our money wisely, and if possible, let us live without means hahahaha. This was the advise of my friend that longs to become a millionaire by living without means while he  and his family work hard hahaha.What if after they all get sick?Ironical.

yes , I agree that future starts with next day. Ok. But it needs a small alteration..The future starts with each and every unspent microsecond. Nobody is sure of what will be and how will be the next moment. People do not understand the reality of life.

The term future is generally made use of by lazy persons and by Astrologers most of the times.

As far as I am concerned I do not believe in future. I believe the moment I am in. Do it  or leave it is the principle I follow.

Earning and saving money for the future does not sound nice. What is the use of saving and becoming a millionaire only to become old without enjoying it?

I enjoy each and every moment with ethical values. This is the meaning of life for me.

@sivasubrahmanyam shatdarsanam, Hehehehe, I am amused of your thoughts and feelings about future and about money. For me, I also set aside some savings each month, at least 5,000 monthly savings so that when I am old, there is money to work for me not me to work for the money. I time deposited some thousands in the bank to avoid withdrawing the money and to have a small percentage of interest.

Yes, there is no assurance of future to come as what we always want to happen. We better assume next day as future for the next day is a sure day that surely comes. Others calculate many years as their foreseen future only to be in dismay when something bad happens along the way having all your future hopes fly to nowhere.LOL.

There is no future but today labor is future for all of us and those think about future and do nothing in present are foolish according to my poor thinking because future. seed lies in present labor.

In the philosophy of time, presentism is the belief that only the present exists and the future and the past are unreal. Religions consider the future when they address issues such askarma, life after death, and eschatologies that study what the end of time and the end of the world will be. Religious figures such as prophets and diviners have claimed to see into the future. Organized efforts to predict or forecast the future may have derived from observations by early man of heavenly objects.
