In response to statements in the 911BBS thread about one's reply to the mid life crisis comments, some have advocated living for the present not knowing how long life may be.

I live exactly that way, but I wonder how many really do. I may be showing how foolish I am here, but I put nothing off that I can. I have no children and I have no retirement except for equity I have in material posessions. I spend money on tires instead of shares in a mutual fund. I could go on and on, but you get the point, I'm doing what I want to do as fast as I can accomplish it and holding nothing back for the future. I'm 58 years old.

Are there really others who believe in living for the present, or is it just a bunch of lip service depicting a 'don't give a damn' lifestyle while in reality they are preparing for the future? (As most should).
