There is No Second Chance at Life
Cats may have 9 lives but people do not. You should live your best life when you can appreciate it the most. It's often been said that life is lost on the young and only appreciated later in life.
Appreciate What You Have When You Have It
Children don't always appreciate toy they play with orthe gifts they receive, especially when they come from a family with money. That's because when something gets broken it's replaced immediately or they're not taught values. They don't see their time as having real value to it.
It's only later after you mature and work for yourself and learn what you're worth that you beging to appreciate what you have. You even see some celebrities leaving their fortunes to charities and not their children to team them the value of work and the time they put in to becoming a success.
We Only Live Once
Unless you believe in the afterlife we only live once and you should make the most of it now. Enjoy your life when you're young because as you get older your body starts to give out with health issues which restrict you from traveling or taking part in sports the way you did when you were young.
You need to plan for your financial health when you young, but at the same time you work to earn the money to enjoy your life so don't be stingy. Often, when you grow up poor and then later in life when you do have money two things happen either one:
1. You save everything you earn, or
2. You spend all your money without planning for the future
What you need to do is find a balance in your life and also be willing to help someone in need because you never know when you'll be rewarded for your philanthropy. Helping someone can be just something as simple as giving of your time.

Davida,
It seems when you approach 50 you start considering your legacy.
How have I made a difference? What can I do with the time I have left?
There may still be time to change attitudes and behavior to have a quality life, but we need to evaluate our values and write them down so we can see who we are as a person.
A well examined life produces great satisfaction and fulfillment.
All the Best,
Louisa
This life depends on what value and what people call legacy, at 50 years one must have something in place people will look and say YES we know hin/her with this. Some prominent personnel did not reach the age of 50. Legacy starts when you realize yourself, whom you are and the life you want to live and what you want to achieve in life
