You run into somebody who looks exactly like you but 20 years older. You realize it's you from the future. He's so glad to see you and begs you to start saving more money now.  He tells you he realizes how foolish he was spending so much money frivolously when he was younger and that life is full of unexpected and expensive surprises. And how much easier life would be if he had been smarter about money all those years. But you tell him you are having too much fun and it's hard to save, but maybe you’ll start next year, or the year after.
