In 2013, I nearly died from getting hit by a car. I was 28.
In 2014, a friend died in a car crash, a victim of a drunk reckless driver. He was 27.
In 2017, my college roommate died in a lake accident. He left behind a wife and 6 adopted children from Africa (he was a man of God). He was 32.
As others have noted, life is often long and investing in our future financial wellbeing is a prerogative. But sometimes life gets cut shockingly short. Take some withdrawls from the fruits of your hard work with those you love from time to time; don't save all of it for a future that sadly might not come for some of us.
