I certainly support the view.

One

should most definitely keep the future in mind and not fritter away everything to enjoy the present.

One

should always remember that the present would

one

day transform into the future, and when it eventually does, it should be safe and secure. The same holds true for societies. Let us consider why it is so important to be prepared for the coming time. The mortality rate has come down and the span of life is generally longer, but the period of earning is comparatively limited. Nobody knows how long he would live, but the age of retirement is generally fixed.

One

cannot work indefinitely.

Therefore

, during his earning span, he has to make sure that he puts aside enough money that will hold him in good stead in his later years, when he will be able to work no more.

Further

, the requirements in old age are sometimes more than a person's

needs

has to provide for the education and marriage expenses of the dependent members of the family, like children and even grandchildren.

may incur extra expenditure on leisure activities. People generally travel more after retirement to meet their relatives and friends who may be settled and staying far away from them. There would

tomorrow, then

then

crime and violence would increase in society and everyone would suffer.

Therefore

then

the journey ahead would be dreary and dismal indeed.

Around the world, people are now living longer than ever before in the past. Some say an ageing population creates problems for governments. Others believe there are benefits to society having more elderly people. To what extent do the advantages of possessing an ageing population outweigh the disadvantages?
In many countries, people's life expectancy is higher now than in the past. Many individuals argue that an elderly population has its pros and cons in society and to the government. Although, the elderly are known to be wise and could guide the younger generation through life. However, they are still a burden to the community.
