Question: If youth is wasted on the young, do you think money is wasted on the old!?
It was great being younger and care-free, but none of us had any money then!. Now I see middle-age, balding guys in sports cars with breasty blondes trying to recapture their youth!. They have lots of disposable income but the energy level may be less!.

If youth is wasted on the young, do you think money is wasted on the old!? I mean, what's so great about being able to afford a condo in Boca Raton!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

From the first example you give, yes!. For the most part, no - I don't think money is wasted on the old!. They have just as much a right to be happy and comfortable and pursue their dreams as anyone else, young, middle-age, or senior!. Most of them earned that right by working hard to earn their money when they were younger!. Yes, it is too bad more people can't enjoy the finer things while they are still younger!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

everyone must grow old!.!. there is no way a person be young forever !!
it may not be so great about being able to afford a condo in Boca Raton but it better than having no money and no youth!.

its better to have lots of disposable income with the energy level grows less, than having no money to see doctor when u become old with lots of sickness and body ache!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Youth is wasted on the young the way money is wasted on the rich: both so full of what they have but without the knowledge (except of a few) to truly take advantage of it and live their life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Actually children are pretty expensive, so money is wasted on the young!. Youth is wasted on the old since they can't have it!.

In both cases a precious thing is wasted on those who cannot
exploit it!.
