Dear friend, I want to share about my friend. He is unmarried now and his earning is very handsome. His family condition is also very good. he is financialy strong. But only one thnk is very bad in him, he is too miser and hoarder. I always try to make him understand for present. I tell him enjoy the life and never think deeply to save money because there is no surity of life in this insecure world. He never try to follow my words. I don't know how to make him understand?

it doesn't hurt a people if thinks about fortune, just as long a he can still control of himself on his fortune and not the other way around, were fortune controls him. if that's the case, then he'll never be able to live a good life despite his fortunes and bank accounts and fancy cars!

Well, there is nothing wrong of thinking about the future, it's a way of giving yourself a concrete shield on circumstances that may come along the way, but, never ever forget to enjoy the present. Enjoy every little thing life has to offer and while your breathing never ever let a single moment that you have done nothing, will it be staring at your wife's beautiful face or watching the sunset, all of this is life that you have to enjoy.

There is no certainty with this world. I think it is good to save for the future. I think your friend want to have a comfortable life with his family when the times come that he decided to get married. But sometimes it difficult to enjoy life when you have so many worries with your life and for the future. Who among us who didn't think our future? Like you said we don't know how long we are going to live in this world we can't bring that fortune when we die.

Tell him that he can't bring all what he's having now to the other world, and he doesn't know when would come into that world. It's not wrong thinking of future if we think more of presence. I have a writing about this subject. You can tell him to read it at the following address. It may help him http://coldmoon.today.com/2009/04/02/life-does-not-wait-for-you/

I think it should be both way, live your life for today, but try to save a little for your future. Yes your are right, you don't know how long your going to live, you might gone tomorrow or you could live another 50 years. I think a person should think about their future because of this,plus if you set some aside then If a emergency comes up you will have it.

I think that we should plan for our future but also live in the moment. We should not make our fears such that we don't live. Its fine to save money and not spend it on things you dont really need, but its ok to splurge every once and a while. I think that once someone has that mentality of a hoarder its really hard to get them out of it no matter what you say to them. They have to want to make the change.

thinking  - dont always think about the future
Hello freind,i agree to you to some extent,we should not spoil our present by thinking always about the future,yes we should think about the future,plan for it,but not at the cost of our present.

well, investment for the future is good and every one must save for the future. but this does not mean that one forgets th present. future is uncertain and who knows what is in store for the future so it is good to have some fun in the present too. i think your this freind must first save a specific amount and use some stipulated amount of his income for other activities. in the beginning of every month he can prepare a budget and move according to it. this woould not let him spend too much but atleast he can have some share of fun.

ah,saving money is proposed to be the right way of life in the recession.it's hard for you to persude you friend changing his habit. "live each day as it's your last" is not suit everyone.

Hey! Many people sometimes waste their present while they are trying to much to make money and work all day in order to become rich in the future. In order to have a lot of money you must invest your time for the job. I think that people should take their job seriously and work hard, but I don't think it should ruin their other life. It is not healthy to live your life only by thinking on the future and you must leave some time for heaving a good time in your life. People who try to get rich almost don't have any spare time. I wish we all could think about the future and also have a good time in the present but this is raelly difficult. Have a great day.

There is nothing when you think about the future. Some people are blessed to see what's in the future. There are people who can foreseen what is in store for us. Let your friend what he loves to do, But, try to stop him if you see that he is doing it so much. There are ways to stop the bad future if that is what he is seeing.

Er...your friend`s life would be routine and bordom,i know the financial work cos i`m studying this now.so i reckon this time the economic crisis,your friend must be headache.He don`t understand your words for he never try it.to these people,it is really hard to make them understand how the life is,they never thibk of changing a style or do sth special.If you can let him try once time,you would be successed a little.
