backwards??

I don't remember who I was talking to about this, but they mentioned that they thought our lives are lived backwards. And at first, I didn't quite understand, but after they explained it, it totally made sense! Think about it...

When we're young we have all this energy and we want to take all these risks but we have no money to do it and definitely no free time. But when we're old, we have no energy and we just would like to sit around and yet we have all sorts of money to go do things and all sorts of free time. Wouldn't it be great if you could be young and have lots of money and be able to go do everything you've ever wanted to do and then when your old be able to sit around and it won't matter that your poor.
