Should you live for today?

What does that mean? Should you save for tomorrow?

I don't do 'should's and oughts' I prefer to live my life in the moment of experience and not have too many ideas about what might be going to happen . I spent too much time fooling around in the garden today but I am not bothered I had a good time - being retired helps.

Thats what im talking about!

You should enjoy the moment you're in, and live like you will die tomorrow, but there are no guarantees. However, you should prepare for the future tomorrows by socking something away for retirement or a rainy day. Last week I'd have said I'm at peace if I go tomorrow, everyone knows how I feel about them, I am at peace with everyone. Well that didn't last long.

Uuummm, what else is there?

Security in retirement...

@Bucketlist Bob I have that as well...having a job & doing it, be it engineer or ditch digger, does not preclude enjoyment every day by seeing the beauty in a sunset or a beautiful meal served in a happy home. (Which I never had, btw, but got though it with sunsets)

Mostly yes

The fool does not save for tomorrow but you should live every day for it's fullest because you never know what lies around the cornner. Many get get caught up in the negative things of the day and do not make an effort to place them in perspective. What is the worse thing that could happen? Once they establish that they should be able to come up with alternatives and set the problems to rest instead of worring about them. I learned this to late in life and wish I had gained this knowledge earlier.

I learned how to fly a gyrocopter at 53 years old. I dis it for 8 years.

Good for you. We are taking our first hot air balloon ride in about three weeks.

Yesterday is a memory and tomorrow is a mental projection. Reflecting on some past occasion or event or some future occasion or event, happens in present time, how could it be otherwise?

That's the way I've lived since beating cancer. One day at a time.
