I would rather be rich in my youth, or rather in my best years, even at the cost of having much less or being poor in my old age. When you're young, you have far more needs and things you need to accomplish, and for that you need a lot of money - and when you get older, your needs decrease more and more and the only thing that matters is your health.
Therefore, I would emphasize that we should be more careful in our youth about the way we live, because alcohol, cigarettes and fast food will only come to pay in old age. I have a saying that says "old age will ask you where your youth was" and there is some truth in that.
I completely agree. They say that “youth wants but cannot, but old age can but no longer wants.” This expression can be applied to many actions. While we are young, our desires are enormous, and we are very impulsive; we cannot slow down our desires, wasting our health and having a hallucination of immortality.
There are many regrets about not having enough financial knowledge, let alone opportunities, when you are young. Therefore, as parents, having gained some experience, we can better convey to our children how important it is to take care of their health so that, in old age, we do not spend everything we earn on treatment.
