The way you life your life today is prepariing you for your tomorrow.  The question is, What are you preparing for?  Are you grooming yourself for success or failure?  As my father used to tell me when I was growing up, “You can pay now and play later, or you can play now and pay later.  But either way, you are going to pay.”  The idea was that you can play and take it easy and do what you want today, but if you do, your life will be harder later.  However, if you work hard now, on the front end, then you will reap rewards in the future.
