Fun on Layaway

“Better to spend it while you’re young, than have it when you’re old.”
The Chemical Buddha noticed that unless you’re a trust fund baby, most of us have to work to acquire money and stuff. (We’re pretty sure he was one of the first to make this keen observation.) The thing about youth is that's when you're the most attractive. You're most flexible. You're most open to trying new things. You have the most free time to see the world. But few of us have the money. That’s why TCB thought it was better to go massively into debt to do all those things and then spend the rest of your life paying it off. Because if you only have the money to do it when you’re old, then all you’ll want to do is boring shit like gardening, reading, and crossword puzzles. And who needs money to do that?
What are you waiting to do in your life?
What do you wish you would have done earlier in your life and why? What’s preventing you from doing it now?
