Do you ever feel like that being after saving or investing for future you forget to live in the present? You don't buy the things you want to or don't go after experiences you want because you'd rather save/invest for future instead.

I think, Sure, life “experiences” are necessary, but the future is important. I am not a selfish person who only lives and spends for myself. Each person will have their own family and it is your responsibility to save and build for the future. Some people I meet have the mentality of being satisfied with what they have and don't need to think about the future. That makes them always think "satisfied" and "excited" in the present.

Honestly, I like those kinda people. At least they are living in present and enjoying it. We could die next moment, who knows?

Yes, future is important but if you are letting go of present for that, then it's not worth it.

“experiences” help make current life meaningful, interesting and valuable. It helps us have more experience and also become more mature. So, a harmonious combination of present and future development thinking will be best.

Yea, this is better.
