Fourth lesson I learned was that time is important, not to be taken lightly. As to time travel - we either will always have it, or never will affect the time stream. Wormholes and cheating time may be in the far future, but if time travel is possible, our history has already been affected and/or multiple Parallel Universes have been created in the process.
Time is important, but as is said in Its a Wonderful Life, "Youth is wasted on the wrong people!" The young know subconsciously that they might never have a moment/opportunity like "this" again, but don't consider the consequences. When it is foolish and trivial, too many of us committed to the course of action. Heavier matters that could change the courses of our lives and test the walls of our routine give the youths more pause. However, time is a commodity - something that we are unlikely to regain once traded.
To fulfill our desires on the mortal plane to which we are bound, we must choose whether to give time or money to satisfy our needs. Money is really a placeholder for the value of your spent time, so the real question is, "Are you willing to use the time that you have saved in the past, or would you rather work in the present to earn the goods and services?"
Such as new books or clothes - is your need so great as to need them fresh and unworn, or are you willing to spend an afternoon browsing a thrift store or used bookshop. I, as a youngin' prefer to dive for deals rather than anteing up my savings. Your life is valuable in whatever way you spend it. My fifteen minutes on the soapbox are up. Make the most of yours...
