It was a great experience for me traveling to a foreign land as an adult. One of my most valuable lessons came as the trip began to wind down, and I was left with a medium amount of money in that country's currency. I suddenly realized that this money was essentially going to become useless the moment we left. It wouldn't be enough to justify a trip to the bank to convert it, especially with the fees. I started buying anything I wanted, and some things I didn't. Anything I could spend this useless money on would be better than taking it back home with me. As you might realize, there's quite a parallel to our lives here. At some point in your life, and it might be now, and it might not be until moments before the end, you will realize that all this money is useless to you. You'd trade literally all of it for another moment that matters. Do you want to have that realization when it's too late, or do you want to get started on that now?
